Amazing!!! I wish this post had been done a year ago before We repainted the entire downstairs..........I took a look at all the corners after reading this post and now realize just how much I need to redo over the Winter....Especially along the ceiling........Good thing I have lots of time on My hands........
Love the new feature wall colour in Your Daughters room too.

Andrew Bounader on Nov 22, 2017Hi Michelle, It's just a matter of a bit of prep work and don't rush the finish will be worth the extra 10 mins (I'm not joking it's not that much longer) to get it really nice and straight.

Hello Andrew, Not very well this time. Because, between coats, there were always a couple of days...so the paint was hard..I had some bleeds and paint sticking on the masking tape but not much.. (I will cover that with a moulding)

Hi Swinnen,
That's part of how it works well, you should remove the painter's tape when there is enough paint on the wall and the final coat is touch dry, otherwise the tape will pull the paint off the wall and mess up your paint finish. Can you touch up the spots with a small child's water colour type of brush? They sometimes work very well.
Good Luck, more practice will improve the finish!.

Have a question about this project?
Wondering why one couldn't use the flat painting pad for the edges rather than taping top to bottom
I must be dumb as a stump, but I am not understanding how this technique works. Can one one explain it tome
