This has been a tisket a tasket. I told yall I cuss! Well I wont. I was told to use the silicone below to make the lines straight, and I did. It worked to a certain point point. I read somewhere else where a reader was asking a blogger about painting and she listed..use the green tape..easy. Not for us all. I have textured walls which means I am damned. Something is going to get through. I used green tape, and blue tape….
This is so pretty to me. So much work. Once I am done this room is going to be SICK. Trust me. Its a mess right now. But ohhh just wait.
Any tricks yall can share?

I like what I see!!
The black is looking great, and I like the ceiling white. Can't wait to see it complete.
On color splash (HGTV), they suggest using a clear glaze so that the paint don't "seep" through. it will give you a clean line.
I love the black! oh, and the gray!
Nice clean lines!
BTW - I gave you a happy 101 Award, check out my blog
In a pinch I've used a piece of cardboard to make my clean lines, works like a charm. However I've never used it for an entire room
Wow looks great cant wait to see the finished product !!
oooh, i like, i like. keep going! very rich and beautiful :) can't wait to see the end result. it will be fab!
Looks fantastic!
I always use the flat think with the 2 little rollers on the end to paint my rooms. I never tape anymore. I do love the white ceilings too.
Love the contrast of the white ceiling. Can't wait to see how it come's out!

I just use an angled trim brush - no tape. If you have a steady hand, you probably don't need the tape!
Ok Tam! It is looking GUD! really GUD! The tape usually works for us. My Hubby told me not to ever paint a ceiling. Sometimes I want to do it just to see how it looks. Good looking out Mr. Styles.
My Sista uses I think a glaze of some sort. She is a GURU!
Yur the coolest with your decorating ideas!
Looks great. I like ceiling white too.

Tami the silicon just locks the tape in place so there is no bleeding. i have textured walls so the paint finds its way through the tape.
GORGEOUS! Pure love, this rich velvety black. How can one color evoke such a dramatic emotion?
(I also like the ceiling as is.)
that black is a bold move and i'm loving it...keep up the good work!
Love the dark colors, I actually did my washroom black too, turned out great with red accents.
