Maybe because of all of this (sort of) work, I am just super drained, beat-down, dumb-as-nails exhausted today..
I was so lucky to have my friends at.Online Fabric Store.
provide me with even more fabric for the room.The one I chose is called Covington Navy Woven Ticking.I think it has a really great vintagey baseball feel when it’s put in the room with everything else.. Of course, that’s a lot of fabric, so I still needed to get a little bit of help getting it all measured and cut, because that required bending over.
Measuring it was simple.We measured from the curtain rod down to the floor and added 4 inches.
1 inch for the hem at the bottom, and 3 inches for the curtain rod pocket at the top.
For the width, we just left it as-is and it was perfect.You think that using those big, heavy wide rollers will make the job go more quickly, but once you fill that thing up with paint, it will be so heavy that you run the risk of getting exhausted before you finish the job.
Use one of those cheapo 4-6″ foam rollers and you’ll just fly through the job.I paint full rooms with them all the time and because of how easy they are to handle, the job actually goes much more quickly than with a big roller.
Try it out if you don’t believe me!For ceilings, look for the.
