How to paint a textured wall (its easier than you think!) (& a GIVEAWAY of FrogTape Shape Tape to help you!)

This post brought to you by FrogTape. All opinions are 100% mine.

My husband was off for a whole week- you know what that means- PROJECTS!   He painted three rooms for me around the house:

1- Our oldest son’s bedroom (white to blue)

2- Our youngest son’s bedroom (white to a different color blue)

3- The ‘kid’ bathroom (again… white to blue.  I love blue – they remind me of the ocean!)

The problem was that the bathroom that is closest to their room had a textured finish, so he really put off painting it, imagining the hassle that it would be.  He kept telling me that it was might look bad (he is a perfectionist when it comes to painting) or that it would be too hard to do, so I did a little investigating and came across FrogTape Textured Surface.  It is treated with the patented PaintBlock™ Technology, a super absorbent polymer that reacts with the water in latex paint and instantly gels to form a micro-barrier that seals the edges of the tape, which helps prevent paint bleed. The Liquid PaintBlock® Edge Sealer™ helps deliver super sharp paint lines, even on textured surfaces.

So, we ran to Lowes & picked some up (you can find it here)

Now for the HOW TO:

Another before shot:

To apply the tape, take it and put it where you need it:

Push it down to create a little seal using your hands (like you would any tape)

Now you create that block (it comes in the package):

That’s all there is to it!

And the “AFTER”…   (Its actually a little lighter, but the camera seemed to darken it a bit)
