I love the border! Is it wallpaper or did you paint it.

If you painted it, can you briefly describe how? I found your design while looking for a grass skirt window valance and found the room I was trying to put together in my head! Thank you!

Ahhh the beach... I miss Southern Calif !
Used to live in Glendora... Sierra Madre is a great little town.
Just feeling nostalgic.

Thank you! My son is 12 and is deciding between an ocean theme and a surfer theme. I have been looking at more of the beach themes and yours is, by far, the one I would want.

We ended up going with this general theme! I went in another direction with the water. My son liked it, and that is what is important :) Paint only -before moving stuff back in.

Start with a blue that you like. Use a white with lots of glaze and a rag and just wipe it on. Be kind of loose. You really can't do it mess it up.
