painting tip...

The guy at the paint store gave me this great tip:

First: Paint your wall, let dry

Second: Place your painters tape where you want it

Third: Using the wall color you just used brush a thin layer over the edges of the tape where the new color will go. This way the existing wall color is what bleeds through and then it forms a seal over the tape.

Forth: Paint your new color.

It worked like a charm!

Hey Heather. Your painting job turned out great! I may have to paint stripes somewhere . . . they look awesome! We have a blog too, but it's private, so I'll have to email you an "invite". Oh, and I looked at your bags and stitchery's on your other blog too. So cute! You're very talented!
