The best bet for most people who aren’t experts, in the long run, is to stay away from trying to learn plumbing, or electrical, or tile work for the first time on your income property.

at this point.. For this project though, a. good painting tape.is really worth it..

If you’ve ever used any of the painting tapes before, you’ve probably noticed that they aren’t totally perfect.Even if you use a high quality tape, you’ll still often end up with paint bleeding and little blips here and there just because of user error or weird humidity or something like that.After I show you this little trick in a second here, you’re going to LOVE your painting tape.

So here’s what I did for this little project:.After painting my base color (the grey) and letting it dry, I decided I wanted a total of 5 stripes, so I just needed to tape off 2 stripes that I would paint on top in the aqua color.

I measured where my lines for the edges of the aqua stripes would need to go and marked 3 little dots per line, then I connected the dots with my painting tape, making sure to tape OUTSIDE the stripes that I would be painting on.. Now it’s time to go ahead and paint the aqua stripes on, right?

Here’s the trick!But does it have a name?The heat wave is gone this week and the weather has just been so perfect.

Let’s go for a little walk outside.I want to show you what I’ve been working on out here for 15 minutes every day..

I re-learned something that I’ve forgotten about this year.You see, I’ve been working away at ripping out all this landscaping fabric and pink stone that we’ve got in every single flower bed around this house.. During the process I’ve had images in my head of big full perennial garden planted to the brim, with something always in bloom, perfectly timed with the seasons.. Then I realized that’s a whole lot of plants.
