I came across this picture of ombré walls on Pinterest and was instantly in love! I knew it would be perfect for Lexie's room.
I read lots of different ways to do ombré walls and I kind of took bits and pieces from each method and made up my own. One thing all these methods had in common was they used 5 different gallons of paint, I decided that was way too expensive with allot of wasted paint. I used these three colors. Then mixed colors to create the in between colors.
Our walls are 8 foot (96 inches) so I measured off three 32" sections and started from there. I painted each section then let it dry completely. 
To make the colors blend together I just mixed the two colors (light pink with medium pink then medium pink with dark pink) that I was blending together, used my roller in a W pattern along the lines then used a cheap sponge ( I used one for washing your car) to pat where I just painted.
This picture it wasn't completely dry yet. The more it drys though the more I love it!
This was much cheaper than buying 5 gallons of paint and having tons leftover. I do have a little of each left over but that will come in handy for some other projects I have in mind. I am super happy with the results!! Lexie loves it too!!!
