Well, let me just first say....that I am officially crazy. No, no....it's true. Whichever mad woman came up with the insane idea to paint zebra stripes on her daughter's bedroom walls needs a padded room. Did you know that people with OCD (even mild forms) should not....I repeat....should not paint zebra stripes?
Did you know it causes them to obsess over every minute detail and text their family and friends a million times asking their opinion?
I am happy to say that I like the way it turned out very much. I also think it looks better in person. Poor Jo! She has to wait for her birthday to get her fabulous new bedding.
Until then she took the twin bed from the guest room and put it in her room....just for now. Sorry, Steph!! You'll be sleeping on the floor. tehehehe
You can tell that every picture is just a little different. There is just something about standing in a room starring at stripes all day that makes a woman a little nutty. Pretty soon I was adding a thicker stripe here and a swirl of black there. I tell ya, I just don't know how Michael Angelo did it. Years....I so couldn't do it....craziness....
So there is the temporary bed....under all the too-big-for-it bedding. If she is happy.....I am happy. You should come see it. It is amazing....ish

I bet if you stare at the walls and squint your eyes a little, you could see some fun pictures.... kinda like the ink blot tests. Go ahead, try it and tell me what you come up with! Seriously, I think it looks fun, modern and totally-teen. Great job, mom & daughter!
ALL your family and friends got a text uh??!??! I just checked, nope haven't gotten one since yesterday! How rude! Love the stripes they turned out great!
It's very unique...I think it could drive a person crazy...especially while painting it.

I hope you have survived this day. The only way I can think to describe it is bittersweet. I'm sure he will be a fantastic missionary, and you'll be a wonderful missionary mom.
