Sometimes you paint the same wall 7 colors...

So we've been working on painting Sophie's room for a long time now(like 3 weeks). Mainly because we almost only get to work on it on the weekends, the walls needed a lot of prep work before painting, and it is a huge room(13ft x 21ft / 4m x 6.5m). So after nail, staple, and tape removal, because for some reason, the previous occupants decided that taping over nail holes, then painting over the tape was an appropriate solution, we sanded, and spackled, and sanded and spackled(probably not the right word lol) some more...






Sophie insisted that we make a checklist, since she was getting impatient with her room, and wanted to see some sort of progress:



Finally, we were ready to paint. We started with the blue wall:


Then we painted the white parts, which was the ceiling wall, and 2 other walls. Then Geli came up with the design for the feature wall. We finally got around to doing that wall yesterday. We started last week though, and painted white along the "border" lines of the design. So it would be dry by the time we were going to tape over that. Then we taped what would become the white border lines, and got to painting:



Here are almost 6 hrs of work timelapsed into less than one minute:
