""I then did a layer of the base color again to help seal the paint and to help with bleeding," Katherine explains. "Once that dried, I painted every other stripe Palm Leaf by Sherwin Williams ... It's a somewhat tedious project making sure your lines are straight and waiting for paint to dry, but other than that, it's a pretty beginner-friendly project.""
""Katherine's best advice for painting stripes on the wall? Do two coats, and pull off your painter's tape while the paint is still slightly white for extra-crisp lines.""
""don't be scared, and just go for it! It's just paint and can always be fixed or changed if you don't like it.""
""The white paint is from our kitchen ceiling, the green from my office, and the blue from our living room," Katherine explains."
A dingy entry wall originally painted in the 1960s received a fresh coat of white (Behr's Bit of Sugar) and measured, five-inch stripes. The homeowner used a ruler, level, and painter's tape to mark lines, then sealed the taped edges with the base color to prevent bleeding. Every other stripe was painted Palm Leaf by Sherwin Williams. The project required patience for straight lines and drying but remained accessible for beginners. Practical tips include applying two coats and removing tape while paint is still slightly wet for crisp edges. Trim repainting is planned later.
