Use Lattice To Hide Painting Line

Ever messed with a painting job, especially a noticeable one? Well, I am not a painter. In my front lobby, I painted a lovely deep grey blue but when I came around one of the corners, I realized that living room wall was much too hard to paint, because of high ceilings. So this is what I did:

1 half of the wall is dark grey and the other half is eggshell so I bought a piece of lattice from the hardware store, the kind you use outside against your home or back porch. I painted it white, measured the width I wanted and secured to the wall with the appropriate long nails. I positioned the lattice to cover the centre of the two colours of paint and also decorated the lattice with dried flowers and pieces of dried leaves. I then placed one of my famous dried flowered hats onto the lattice.

It looks wonderful, creative also. This gives a look so far from the every ordinary look of front lobbies or entrances to your home. I know you're going to love it. Good luck
