Today (my day off work!) I’m attempting to paint a barn square for my living room.

I picked out the design that I wanted by coloring a few different pictures.

Earlier last week I bought my board, paint and gathered up all the brushes and tape. I’ve never painted a barn square before, but I felt pretty good after drawing the pictures.

So I taped out lines, deciding to paint the outside edge first – and the first attempt ended up like this…

Attempt number two I decided to paint the inside design first, it worked out a little bit better

And the first paint went in!

Now I’m waiting for it to dry, and figuring out how to get the next set of lines in!
