Green Bedroom Makeover

Horizontal Stripe Painting Tips:

• After measuring the walls, use a long level and pencil to mark the bottom of the top stripe.
  
• Start by applying the top color first, and then work down the wall.
  
• Once the first band of color is dry, measure/mark the next stripe and use a low-adhesion painter's tape just above the pencil mark along the top of the next stripe to avoid peeling the paint off when dry.
  
• In order to prevent dripping between the stripes, always paint a little below the bottom of each. That way, you can paint over that color when it's dry.
