DIY Home Makeovers!

Chan invited me over yesterday for a cool DIY project: to give Chan's boring white wall an exciting new younger look! Haircut, funky highlights, a new wardrobe, the whole shenanigan. Our hats remind me of Bad Hat Harry productions. "That's some bad hat, Harry."
There! The first coat of paint finished, and very well done if I do say so myself! Chan's mom said we did good corners and edges =D This shade of pink, Posh Pink, is like, THE colour of 2007. And you know what, they weren't kidding when they named it Posh Pink. It really does look quite posh! So now you know who's the hippest wall shade on the block.
Taping the masking tape on to form the tree, cos it's, you know, professional. And we're very keen on straight lines. But halfway through the taping, we realised it look really good simply taped, as in, a tree drawn with double lines rather than a single line as planned. So, we decided to go for a double-lined tree. Hard work yes, but since walls last so long, we felt it was worth the extra effort.
At this point in time, we realised the tree looked REALLY fantastic like this, a triple lined tree. But the idea of a fourth row of masking tape was just too crazy to contemplate, since it meant starting all over again, rather than just adding an extra row. It was also already 6pm in the evening. We'd started painting at 2pm. Anyway, we also figured that single-lined, double-lined, triple-lined, it all looked so good. Which means that no matter which one we pick, we can't screw up =D
Painting the tree!Waiting for the paint to dry...
Voila! Not bad eh! We're not really done yet, we're gonna add more stuff to the wall to make a full scene. Maybe a couple of birds, fruits, some leaves on the ground, maybe another tree. We'll see how it goes. To be continued!! When Chan comes back from archi camp!
