Linda Some tips.. make absolutely, positively certain your base coat is dry before you put tape on it. Paint your lighter color first, then do your darker stripes. I always plan on doing two coats to get the true color unless you use one of the paints specifically designed for dark colors. I would suggest getting a roll of kraft pretaped painters paper the correct width and then taping the bottom edge of that with painter's tape so I could roll the entire wall without having to cut the edges of each stripe. You will still have to cut the ceiling line and the doorways. Use a level to make sure your stripes are even all the way around the room...
My best tip is to buy a GOOD paintbrush for the cutting (at least $10 for a 2.5 inch angled sash brush) and high quality roller sleeves and paint.
If you truly don't know anything about painting, I would suggest a trial run in a closet or your laundry room or some other small space before tackling a bigger project.
A vintage campaign dresser provides extra storage space in the kitchen. "I love thrifted furniture because I feel like our home now has a more collected feel and personality," says Joi.
The stripes are painted in the same Alabaster and Mercer shades used elsewhere in the kitchen.
