It’s possible that I alone have kept the makers of Frog tape in business. What can I say? I like stripes. And it is so easy to make them with some Frog tape, a tape measure, a pencil and some patience.
It all started with this dresser.
I’d seen something similar on pinterest and thought I would give it a try. The key to making this look work is to be sure that your stripes are all lined up. Also, be sure to start in the center of the piece and work your way out to keep the edges even.
I tried it on a desk next.
I was going to paint the next one just like the first, but at the last minute switched the stripes to grey.
Then this one got stripes on just the top drawer.
And finally, how about some celery green stripes?
I love them all. Most of these are sold. The desk and this last green striped dresser are still for sale at the Round Barn in Andover, MN. Just in case you feel the need to get yourself some stripes!



Love the glass jar on the last dresser, I have been looking everywhere for such a jar!

I wish I could tell you where to find one, but this one belonged to my grandmother. My mom had it tucked away in the back of a kitchen cupboard, unloved. So I mentioned that if she ever decided to get rid of it, to be sure and give it to me. I had visions of her sending it to Goodwill or some such thing. She said “oh, you can just have it now.” I wrapped it up and carried it home on the plane. It normally resides in my pantry, but I bring it out for photo shoots.
