abulous Frog Tape is the best new invention in years. It seals to your floor and … no paint leaks—unless you move it. The painting project moved ahead after loads of math, marking and chalk lines. Then the fabulous green tape came on the scene! We started with eight rolls, but needed about 20 more rolls to complete the job. When all was finished 1.159 miles, yes miles, of Frog Tape was used. The guys even saved the used tape and made a giant tape ball named ‘Kermit’—green, frog and fun. I think the results were simply stunning, but let me know what you think!
I think you could seal this and call it a day!
The first part of the pattern to be painted was the border.
Working on the inner grid—that’s Merritt the Magnificent painting.
The pattern was taped on the dry grid—the circles were drawn with a compass and cut with an exacto knife
The outside border was painted while the pattern was being taped.
Painting in progress—so exciting to see it all come together.
I am crazy for this floor!

Lissy thanks for the tip about frog tape! What a find! That old blue painters tape does not work very well! And your floor…,.is absolutely gorgeous!! Love it!

Cindy, Just remember that if you need to adjust the tape-throw it out and get a new piece. The adhesive only bonds for one ‘stick.’

I cannot believe this! How in the world did you find such perfectionist men to figure this out? Wow. Just wow.

Cindy, My Architect, Keven Hawkins, did the math. He is here in Cashiers.
