How do I blend 2 colors on 1 wall?

I want to use a lavender color on the the lower 1/2 and blend it into a pale teal on top ( a little mermaid nursery) should I use a glaze? shold I dilute a latex paint? not sure....latex dries SO fast though, so I know I need to use SOMETHING. Don't want to use oils due to the fact that I'm preg and it's going in the nursery and it's HOT out....would stink up the house. Are there lengthening agents for latex wall paint? I know there is for latex ART piant, but not sure. Hmmm....HELP! Thanks!

What I have done before is to go one wall at a time. Paint the top portion and then the bottom portion. As soon as you are done rolling the colors on, take a rag dipped lightly in water and, using a swirling motion, blend the two colors together. You can also pick up a little more paint onto the rag if need be. When one wall is done, move onto the next wall and repeat. It is a little time consuming, but well worth the effort. If all else fails, get a friend or two to help. Have one person paint the top part, one person paint the bottom half (at the same time) and then the third person can go behind and immediately blend the two colors together. Good luck!
Reply:Not sure. Maybe use a chair rail?
Reply:I have found a wall mural that is so beautiful. This is probably easier for you since you're pregnant. I'm not sure about your budget (they're a little pricey), but if you can afford to do one wall, it would look really nice.

Reply:I have an idea that might work for you - you could paint the bottom lavender color, then the top part your teal color - then in between put a nice border - you know the kind they use on the wall up near the ceiling - but use it as the separation point between the two colors.



They make so many cute Nursery borders I'm sure you could find one that contains the two colors you're using for the nursery.



And if you're lucky, you can find one of those peel-on ones, so you don't have to go through the process of using water and a squeegee.



You just peel of the backing, and stick it to the wall. You can do it your self, preparing marks to make sure it's level.



Or it's easier with two people putting them up, with one checking to make sure it's level. And if you make a mistake, you peel it off and stick it back on in the right position. How easy can it get?



I've done it this way in a bathroom and it turned out wonderful.



Good luck to you and your future baby,
