My husband recently switched out the builder-grade ho-hum trim in the family room with pine board trim that is a bit chunkier and matches the trim in the 1940’s part of our house.
I pulled out the same primer and trim paint I used for the master bathroom and, of course, Frog Tape.
I’ve shown all of the ways I used Frog Tape…for labeling things, sewing projects, holding things in place, etc., but it’s also great at doing what it was made for – creating a clean edge when painting.
I often do cutting in by hand, since I’m pretty proficient with a paint brush, but even I can be sloppy, so it’s nice to put up the tape, paint…
…and know that it will pull off nice and clean, leaving a perfect edge.
The trim work is a subtle change, but it makes a big difference in tying in the old with the new and making the family room look more custom.
3/4 height wainscoting is next…
AND…I have recently found two more non-DIY uses for Frog Tape. I use the “green tape” to label what my son has to eat in his snack and lunch at school in order to keep his blood sugar balanced, so it’s easy for him and the teachers. (We found out this week he’s a Type 1 Diabetic.) After a couple of days, he’s already learning what the green tape means! I also am using it to tape off my target lines for the Agility workouts in P90X3. The uses are endless…
