Frogtape Paint Perfect Lines On Wall (2)

We do a lot of work in our office and after moving form Oregon to California we are just now starting to feel at home. The one room in the house that has gotten no attention is our home office. Feeling uninspired I have been wanting to remake the space for quite some time.

To make the job simple and easy we used the new FrogTape® Textured Surface. It is treated with the patented PaintBlock™ Technology, a super absorbent polymer that reacts with the water in latex paint and instantly gels to form a micro-barrier that seals the edges of the tape, which helps prevent paint bleed. The Liquid PaintBlock® Edge Sealer™ helps deliver super sharp paint lines, even on textured surfaces.

To put the tape to the test my husband created the stripes on the wall. We removed the boring shelf and bulletin board.

One the tape is on you will wipe the edges with a damp cloth and then  apply the edge seal gel. All the gel to dry then paint.

Once the paint is dry you can remove the tape from the wall.

After the paint was dry we put the newly painted shelf back on the wall. I just sanded it down and used the same paint form the wall.

I really like how simple and easy to use the Textured Surface by FrogTape was. Easy enough for begginers like ourselves to do!

I added a new calendar and some artwork I found at one of those discount home stores. It’s such an easy way to update the look of any room and I just love how simple and yet how bright it makes the entire room!
