For Mrs. Peters

One of the teachers at my son’s school had asked me to do a painting for her baby.  They did not know the gender until birth.  (We didn’t find out for our first and did find out for our second and, in my opinion, it is a million times more special/fun to NOT know the sex of your baby until birth.)  They have gender neutral bedding so I just waited until the big day to decide what I would paint.  Little Andrew—to be called Drew—arrived on March 16th!  In the past, I have hated painting stripes, but I think I figured it out and I love how this turned out.  Once again, I am totally inspired by and copying off of Kim Wheeler at Small Words Art.  I even had the mother look at Kim’s artwork and tell me what she liked so this is a total knock-off of Kim’s amazing art.  I give all credit to her for coming up with this stuff!

I took the bumper pad with me to Hobby Lobby to match up paint colors.  Of course, the colors  look off in the pictures, but I swear they are an exact match!  The walls are a lime green color and the crib is white.  (I know—it looks like the walls are striped—that’s the crib up against the wall.)

Pretty time consuming, but I really do enjoy painting so it’s a win-win for me!
