ONE PROJECT THIS SPRING THAT GIVES THE BEST BANG FOR OUR BUCK

Nothing makes a home feel refreshed like a fresh coat of paint. Try adding an accent wall to space for an eye-catching pop of color or repaint trim for a classic and clean look. Ensure all painting projects look professional by using FrogTape® brand painter’s tape to achieve the sharpest paint lines possible. The tape is treated with patented PaintBlock® Technology, which forms a micro-barrier against paint bleed, allowing for flawless, crisp paint lines. Visit FrogTape.com  to learn more. Painting is one of the easiest ways to update a space, especially those high-traffic areas, such as guest bathrooms, entry ways and living rooms.
