About a year ago the blogosphere was all abuzz about FrogTape, a new painters' tape product with paint-blocking technology purported to stop paint from bleeding under the tape. With that in mind, the point of the tape was to ensure straight, clean, professional paint lines to assist with nearly every kind of paint project imaginable. Well, it took just about as long for FrogTape to appear in our local home improvement stores (that happens when you live in Ohio, more often than you'd think) and we're here to give you our thoughts on it.
As you may or may not be aware, we paint A LOT in our house. Nearly every surface has been touched, and we're nowhere near done yet. So when we first heard about FrogTape we were pretty intrigued about the possibilities.
We used the tape for painting trim around a window and a doorway -- we were painting the trim deep teal and both areas had white we wanted to maintain, so we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to give the product our full attention.
File this one under the "What will they think of next?" category. And yes, you read the post title right: today we're talking about edible spray paint.
Thanks to the team at Shelterrific for alerting us to this fascinating product, created by a food cooperative called The Deli Garage.
Food Finish is available in four colors: red, blue, gold and silver. But the bigger question here is what would you do with edible spray paint? Decorate a bowl of fruit and freak someone out by taking a big bite? You could also paint plates and utensils without worrying if a bit of paint comes off into the food.
When it comes to paint, color is the biggest deciding factor on what you'll get. And with so many hues available, it can be a daunting selection process!

With wallpaper becoming all the rage in home decor circles, you can often find yourself stressing about details you may never have considered before. You may want to wallpaper a space with uneven walls. You may want to make a bold statement with some off-the-wall paper, but not know where the line between "unique" and "tacky" lies.
Or you may be pulling out your hair trying to match a paper to your current decor scheme ... or try matching your decor scheme to a paper.
Well, wallpaper company Graham & Brown has decided to address the last issue head on -- by offering their own line of designer paints, formulated to match not only their wallpaper collections, but much of their wall art as well.
