YOU'LL NEED:

Dutch Boy® Platinum® Plus interior paint (4 colors)

Angled paintbrush

Cub brush

Woven roller cover and roller frame

Paint tray and liners

Mini woven roller cover and roller frame

Mini trays

Painter's tape

Drop cloth

Clean, damp cloth

HERE'S HOW:

STEP 1: Prepare all painting surfaces by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.

STEP 2: Lay down the drop cloth to protect floors; use painter's tape to cover baseboard, trim, and bookshelf.

STEP 3: Using the angled brush, cut in and apply paint just inside the taped wall area and then paint the remaining area with the woven roller. Remove painter's tape while paint is stil damp; allow paint to dry 24 hours.

STEP 4: Use painter's tape to cover around the outside bookshelf cubbies.

STEP 5: Using a cub brush, apply the first paint color just inside the taped areas of the first cubby, and then paint the remaining cubby interior with the mini woven roller.

STEP 6: Repeat step 5, alternating colors for each cubby.

Example: In the image above, the color sequence would be Encore Orange 212-6DB, Foggy Gray 424-2DB, Topaz Gemstone 312-5DB, Encore Orange 212-6DB. The color sequence would continue if there are more cubbies.

STEP 7: Remove painter's tape while paint is still damp; allow paint to dry 24 hours.
