IT'S RAINING IT'S POURING

well the weather is not cooperating and we aren't able to head out and work on the numerous outdoor projects
... so we will stay inside

so what does n have planned for today?
well it involves miles and miles of green tape

(and we were able to test out this brand frogtape and just regular green painters tape and honestly the frogtape was far superior in preventing bleeding under the paint)

take a bit of inspiration from this handy pamphlet from benjamin moore

lets add some interest and fun details to the least suspected place
... the laundry room

start by figuring out the spacing of the vertical stripes
... paint the different colors
... let dry and peel away the tape

admire up close ...
wait until the next day to finish the design

tape the horizontal lines ...
paint, peel away the tape and admire

look how fabulous is the laundry room now?

i love adding unexpected details to unexpected places ... stay tuned for a few more unexpected finishing reveals ... coming soon

cheers ~n

  2. the trick is to make it appear that the walls and floor are square even if they really aren't :)
