PAINTING HACK: How to get less bleeds with blue painters tape

How to get less bleeds when using painters tape

I recently re painted my downstairs and I have a really tall stairwell that I am not ready to re paint so I need to cut my new paint off. We also have bullnose corners so I had to stop the paint where the corner actually wraps around the the wall I won't paint, I know it seems weird but it truly looks the cleanest from an angle.

This paint hack is great for cutting paint lines off for different rooms or would be perfect when doing multiple colors on one wall.


Apply your painters tape as you normally would


Take the color that is BEHIND your tape and apply a small amount along the tape line. This helps seal the tape to the wall and also fills in any spot that might have bleed.


When that is dry paint the color you are paining as you normally would


Remove your tape before the paint dries completely

You should be left with a super crisp line that has minimal to no bleeds! I have found if you overlap the tape you may still get a bleed 





If you have any questions about this build please leave me a comment or DM on Instagram and I'll be more than happy to answer it!



There is always a project to do so I hope you follow along on my social media accounts where I share my life as a Mom of 3 and all things DIY Home!

Girl's Nursery Makeover Pt. 1: Pink Bead Board

 Girl's Nursery Makeover Pt.1 Pink Bead Board I've done my fair share of board/batten projects with my husband, Scott, by now but we have yet to work with beadboard and I really wanted this room to feel very feminine and feel like a room you would see in a victorian/craftsman home 100 years ago (but a little more modern). We just finished up a  boy's room makeover  for our son's who are now sharing a room, this was our youngest sons nursery, and that room has a dark green board/batten throughout; I wanted these two rooms to feel similar and that they belong next to each other but still have very different personalities and choosing to go with beadboard the same height as their board/batten really achieved my goal. (our sons room and this room are next to each other so you see them side by side in our hallway) When I was researching how to do all the beadboard things I struggled to find a lot of truly helpful post describing areas like corners, top trim placement and pai

DIY Mudroom Built In

DIY Mudroom Built In/Hall Tree with a Bench & Drawers When we moved into our home (going on 4 years ago now) I had a vision for this little wall from the start. I knew I wanted a "mudroom" but being in California those don't exist, new builds are starting to incorporate them but not to the grandness of those beautiful country homes gracing our feeds lately. If you are looking for that craftsman/farmhouse charm of a place to hang your coat or sit down to put your shoes on and lack a dedicated room but have a wall...this is the tutorial for you! You can absolutely change this to fit your needs or space, don't have room for a bench just extend the board and batten to the floor and you can still have a coat hook wall.  Materials: 2x4's : frame for bench cabinet 1/4 inch plywood : board backing  3/4 inch plywood : bench cabinet and drawers 3 1/2 inch common board strips : horizontal "batten" and trim piece for the bottom of benc

Toddler Boy Room Makeover: Behind the Design

What we started with:   Toddler Boy Room Makeover (all items used in this room are linked under their category) Why a "grown up" kids room you ask? When I think of a child's room I instantly think back to my childhood rooms. Bright colors and character wallpaper or decals placed thoughtlessly on the walls, plastic tables and chairs (nothing wrong them they clean up great!), character sheets and comforters that I vividly remember never being soft enough and always cold, it was a room I would get bored of very very fast and want to re decorate. (That could also just be a me thing lol!) I do remember how much my Mom loved doing rooms for me and I remember her always being so happy to re do them when I got an itch to change things up (if it was something we could afford at the time).  So, when I started planning out my son's new room for him and his brother to share I really dug deep to figure out how I could make this room something that can last through childhood and ma
