DECORATING IDEAS

s Continue a half-wall paint job across the

door and frame for a clean, seamless look.

It will be most effective on a long wall,

such as in a hallway, where you want to

draw the eye through the space

Want flawless results with little effort?

Stencils are available in a wide range

of stunning modern designs and are

really easy to use

When

using painter’s

tape, smooth away air

bubbles before painting

to prevent bleeding and

slowly peel it away while

the paint is wet to get

a clean, crisp line.
