So, I think I've posted before the Brylee's nursery is all Dr. Seuss. First here's a link to the bedding so you have an idea of what I mean.

Now my question is, we know we're doing on wall with red stripes (to match the red in the blanket) but now I'm contimplating should I make them perfectly straight...or like Seuss's world make them offset and a little crooked. I want the nursery to be bright and fun. What are your thoughts? I'm getting things painted here soon, but need to decide on these stripes. Petty I know. TIA!

I like the idea of painting the stripes a bit crooked!

If you decide to make the lines "Dr. Seussy", I'd only do one wall. I think a whole nursery of crooked lines might make you dizzy.

I love the bedding, but I think it would make me crazy if the lines weren't straight! (Probably beacuse I got a little bit of OCD goin on). And I think it would make me even more crazy to have to explain it to every person who saw the room and wasn't familiar with Dr. Seuss' style. Either way, ur gonna have such a cute nursery! Good Luck!

Could you do straight stripes, but one matte paint and one glossy? I had this in one of my rooms post-college and it looked really neat.

This is just for one wall. I was going to do two...but definitely not the whole room.

I'd never thought of something like that. Thanks for the idea.

What about pretty straight lines but not such a solid edge (more like free-hand)?  It might make it easier to paint too, if you didn't have to be so precise on the lines.

My thoughts for crooked or straight I was going to use painter's tape since I was free handing other stuff. But that wouldn't be a bad idea, having a rougher edge and it keep things to the Dr. Seuss theme, I think. I definitely want things no ordinary

Thanks so much! I knew for her nursery I wanted things to be completely different. I hope it looks good when I finish. Thank you

I agree to do the lines straight and maybe just one wall or only the lower part of the walls, if that makes sense...

I agree with this.  Be really careful too with "crooked" lines.  If you do them I would think they would have to be really exaggerated so they don't look like you just couldn't get a straight line.

I know what you mean by the lower part. I was thinking of using that yellow color for the top part and the red stripes at the bottom if I did half and half

I just wanted to say you have great taste in bedding. I'm also doing Dr. Seuss. Tough call with the stripes. It's only paint so you can always change your mind. That is what I tell myself anyway.

Very true. I can always have DH slap a coat of Kilz on it for me and repaint it I think I have a few ideas floating arond in my mind. I'm super excited to be doing a Dr. Seuss room. I wanted something completely differen't None of that traditional all pink or all blue stuff
