What’s a fantel you ask?
And everyone on the show is walking around saying “Oh no!This is so annoying!
We’re sooo far behind now!” You know exactly what I mean.Well, I laugh in the face of their 3 more days!Of course, in real life, when you’re working on a project and you get an idea to change something, no matter how small, it seems like it always adds on something like 3 more.
At least.. That was the case with these mouldings on our kitchen cabinets.This was meant to be a quick-fix kitchen update that we started last fall, but as we got more and more into it, we realized that we were really going to have to change some of the trim out.
We could tell that it would look amazing and we just couldn’t.
But of course, then we went on leading our normal lives and didn’t have time to get to this extra little update until this Spring.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!
I went back over the inside edges of the tape (where the aqua would be going) with the grey color again to really seal the tape down.Any bleeding that occurs when you do this will be the base color and will be invisible!
