Painting in Patterns

This technique involves painters tape, all the colors you like, and a love of patterns. You can do stripes, checks, polka dots, random zigzags – anything's possible! You'll be tired of painting when you get done, but you'll adore the finished product. You can easily put your own spin on these techniques, and create a look that's uniquely your own. Just make sure you cover the floors and any exposed furniture, and always invest in good quality paint. Do you enjoy painting your walls, or do you prefer something easier, such as wallpaper?
