Stripe Painting Made Easy

I have been loving all of the stripes I have seen, and wanted to paint some in my guest room, but I am a bit lazy and hate taping with a passion.  So I wanted to tape as little as possible and came up with a genius, if I do say so myself, solution to only tape once.

1. Decide what size you want your stripes, then overestimate and freehand painting those stripes on the wall.  This may look frightening, but it works!

 2.  Measure out and tape off your stripes.  To make sure they are level, I duct taped my level to a yard stick.  Pretty high class

3.  Choose a color for the stripes, I used Martha Stewarts Sharkey Grey, its a perfect mix of grey with a brownish undertone to go with my wood furniture. 

4.  Lastly, my favorite part, peel off the tape and stand back in awe!!  Now I just need to fill up those walls.
