How to Paint Horizontal Stripes
by

(IC: blogger)
I have had a project floating around in my head for a few years now that I knew I would LOVE…HORIZONTAL STRIPES! I knew I wanted it in my small powder bath by the kitchen because it is a small space and horizontal stripes would actually help it to look larger. We moved into our home only two years ago and my husband LOATHES painting. We chose a light blue/gray color that we loved and it is in the whole house. We even did a vinyl project in the nursery because my husband hates painting so much! HA! So when we were approached my Frog Tape to do a project using their tape I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to do but just had to convince the hubs it was a great idea too!
This is the first time I have ever used FrogTape® and I know from experience using other tape before that there is a HUGE difference in quality especially if you are trying to paint a textured surface (which all of my walls are), and if you are wanting to paint a very sharp, distinct line.
Full Kudos goes to Paul for doing the taping. He is something of a spacial/measuring genius who is great with numbers. I on the other hand, am better at the actual painting part which made this project a lot more fun because it was broken up that way. If you have a partner in crime to help you paint the stripes take them up on it!
