How To Apply Frog Tape

Nail Boutique & Spa

 

Our amazing neighbours at Nail Boutique and Spa did a colour makeover last year and with our help, it’s AMAZING!

NBS entranceThe front counter area is welcoming and fresh with it’s turquoise accent wall.

We started with a fresh coat of paint throughout the whole space in a warm off white, walls, trim/doors and furniture. This allowed us to create a “pop” with coloured accent walls.

We used a bold citron yellow on a wall in the waiting area and also behind the sink area.

The seating wall for manicures and pedicures was boring and too light for such a large wall, we amped up the style factor with Amy Butler wallpaper in Temple Tulips Ocean by Graham & Brown.

There is a large back wall that we chose a deep navy AF-565 Mysterious for, but it was too large to take pics of.

Do you like this room, inspired by a spring day down by the creek? We used old claret 2083-30 with wrought iron 2124-10 to accent, and icicle OC-60 on the trim!

Do any of the following statements apply to you?

  • Your home is new and you are too overwhelmed to paint the whole thing, but the beige walls are too boring.
  • Dark & bright colours scare you.
  • Your partner prefers light colours and you want something more bold.
  • You are living in a rental and afraid to paint, but crave colour.

If so, look no further…a feature wall may just cure you.  Not every room in your home can handle one, but if there is a wall that needs highlighting why not?

Below are some spaces that really pop with Benjamin Moore colour, for further questions visit our store and let our helpful staff guide you.

Painting a faux wood wall

It’s amazing what paint can do!

This plain looking spare bedroom really needed a lift before it became a baby boys nursery.  Mom and Dad wanted a wood wall, but for re-sale purposes didn’t see it as a good idea. Our friends at Spaces Design created this wall with painters tape, two tones of paint, and some water.
