Pro Painting Secrets
Special to the Ledger
(NAPS)—A clean
“canvas” and a twist
on traditional painting
techniques may be all you
need to make your home
stylish and trendy, says
Carey Evans, TV personal
ity, carpenter and interior
designer. Here’s how:
Caulk For A Clean Start
First, properly select a
caulk. “The secret to an
enduring, clean look is to
seal with a long-lasting
caulk,” says Evans. “If the
caulk underneath shrinks
or deteriorates, then the
paint that you worked so
hard to apply may age pre
maturely due to unsightly
cracks that have formed.
“My top pick for all my
painting jobs is the latest
caulking innovation by
GE, Groov,” says Evans.
With it, you can do the job
right the first time because
it provides long-lasting
performance. Groov caulk
won’t shrink, crack or
break down like acrylic
caulk. Acrylic caulk may
go on easily, but it shrinks
over time, leaving unsight
ly cracks, which can spoil
a great paint job.”
Look Up, Down and All
Around
Embrace the opportunity
to give color to the fifth
and sixth walls of a room:
the ceiling and the floor.
Soothing pastels or subtle
ceiling designs are increas
ingly popular. Painting a
floor, also popular, is even
more cost effective than
having it refinished.
“For unexpected ways to
bring patterns
into a room,
paint a runner
on the stairs
where the
treads have
worn down or
add a favor
ite color or
pattern to the
rise of each
step,” says Evans.
Texture Tricks
Painting techniques that
add texture and depth
can liven up monochro
matic walls. For begin
ners, Evans suggests the
color washing technique.
It’s easy to achieve using
two colors in a wet-on-wet
fashion. For more experi
enced painters, she recom
mends the grass cloth
technique that achieves the
same look as the popular
wallpaper. By using a wire
comb, broom or favorite
tool, you create serene lines
that add interest to other
wise flat walls.
“With a stronger color
like royal blue, you can
even mimic the look of
your favorite blue jeans,”
Evans says.
A Twist on Trim
You don’t have to paint
each level of
your home the
same color. Mix
it up by placing
trim vertically
between rooms
to create defini
tive spaces that
can be painted
their own color.
Alternatively,
move beyond traditional
trim colors. “I like to
choose neighbors on the
color wheel for the wall
and trim for a tone-on-
tone, subtle richness,” says
Evans. “Or, you can mix
glaze with the wall color
for added dimension.”
