I have just a few more projects I am working on for my laundry room but I wanted to show you guys where I'm at now!
So... After priming and painting my cabinets I let everything dry overnight and used my ScotchBlue Edge Lock tape on them.
ScotchBlue recently sent me some of this awesome tape to get my opinion on it. Many of you asked if it would work on walls as well.
Here are a few examples of the straight lines I ended up with...
I actually was super impressed with it. I always have problems with paint bleeding under the tape but not with this stuff! I love it!
Here's a few more pictures...
So that's it so far guys! As I mentioned... I do have a few more projects I am working on for the wall to tie in the red just a bit more. I will also share my how-to's on what I have done so far later this week.
Who wants to try some of this fab painter's tape??
ScotchBlue is giving 8 more Shanty readers their own roll of
ScotchBlue Edge Lock!!
Whoop!!
All you have to do is leave me a comment on this post and you are entered. Pretty simple!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I am off to feed the fam!

Whitney, it looks fantastic! I love red with everything:)I'm working on my craft room...brown walls, red ceiling...I think I need to borrow your idea with the webbing. Yep, that's on my new idea list.

Wow! I am so impressed with how this turned out and not scared to admit that I am a little jealous. Great job

I love you laundry room. If I had it I won't mind doing laundry so much. Seriously.
I love ScotchBlue edge lock tape. I picked some up about a month ago when I started refinishing my 3 years bed.
I'd love to try that tape!
Me, me, me!!! I would love to try it out. You've inspired me, the laundry room is gorgeous!!!!

FABULOUS laundry room... I'm oh so jealous!
I love it all, but especially the little red knobs!
What a great room. Love all the little details! ... And of course I'd love some tape!
I love your laundry room. How is your crafting table working out? Love that tape.
I"ll need this, we are moving to our first home in a couple months!
Oooh I need that! My laundry room is painted except for all the trim, lol. I wasn't sure which tape actually worked...
My sons bathroom and my kitchen are up next!
I need to try some of that tape...tired of the paint bleeding through!
I would LOVE to try out the new tape. We are in the process of painting the interior of our house, so this would come in really handy!!
Great laundry room! The tape looks like it works wonderfully.
I would love to try that tape! I have got paint peojects going all over the house. The laundry looks awesome! Love the red accents.
Your laundry room looks fantastic!
I could really use this tape, as I'm wanting to paint a few rooms soon. This would be perfect! I hate cutting in trim, because it always bleeds!
We're closing on our new construction house in two weeks and two days. This would be awesome as we work on switching out our builder beige!
Love those baskets, the red accents and those blooms! Great job!
I'd love to try it!! I actually almost bought some last week. It definitely beats having to use the caulk method or paint with the opposite color!
Staci
Love your laundry room and your house! All beautiful - I sure I hope I get lucky and win the tape so I can start my own project!
How sweet are those curtains! I totally want to try this tape. I am so scared of paint and color and I am finally trying to get up the nerve to just paint something in our new house!
i LOVE the red knobs. I can't wait to see how you tie it together.
I love to paint and I would LOVE to try this tape!
LOVE what you've done. DH was just saying I have to use tape next time I paint. lol...I told him when I do it always bleeds under. I'll have to try this.
Would love to get some painting done around here definitely want to test out that tape!
I not only want, but I NEED some!!! We are going to paint our master bed and bathroom, as well as our hallway. It sure would help!
Beautiful laundry room, I am getting ready to do my craft room the tape would be very helpful.

Love the new laundry room!!
pret-ty, pret-ty...love the color!

Your laundry room is adorable!
Your laundry room looks lovely!!! Great job. I especially love how the baskets give it the perfect touch.
When I saw the "before" picture of your laundry room I thought, "What is she going to do? It looks fine." But it's SO cute now! I love the cute details you added like the red knobs. Nice!
I've been so curious about the new blue tape. I hope it works well!

caaute laundry room! I love the colors. I just have a laundry nook so not much to decorate. As for the giveaway...I always have some painting project in the works now that we have our own house. I'd love to try some of the tape. I'd also be willing to do a review on it.
I LOVE every detail about your laundry room, especially the red knobs. I wish I had that much light and space in mine!
OMG! Awesomeness! Love the color scheme.
I love your laundry room! It is so pretty! (Which seems strange to say about a laundry room :)
I would love to try this tape! I have a few projects in mind.
What a beautiful space you have for your laundry room!
I want to paint some stipes and keep putting it off. Sounds like this would really help!
since we have no choice but to spend some time in the laundry room-you at least get to spend it in a beautiful space! Nice work.
Grey & red?!? Seriously gorgeous! Love it! Can't wait to see what's still to come! If I told my hub y I wanted to "beautify" our laundry room, I don't think I'd get a positive response! Guess I'll just be jealous of yours!
Ershay8@hotmail.com
P.S. Where'd you find the cute white flowers? Hobby Lobby?
Super cute! I love it!
My laundry room is in dire need of a facelift. Painting wall and cabs are on the list....sounds like this tape should be on my list too! :)
i really like the curtains! so cute!

Laundry room looks awesome! That looks like great tape.
I love the red with the light blue! Can't wait to see what you do next!!!
Love the revamped laundry room! Just told hubby last weekend about the tape & how I wanted to try it.
Love the splash of red. I think every room oughta have at least a little red in it!
your laundry room looks fantastic! I love the little hits of red here and there (fun surprise in such a classically pretty room against the grey background now) those baskets are darling.
Who couldn't use more painting tape - ESPECIALLY if it works like THAT!
that looks like a laundry room from a magazine! Very nice, clean and classic looking. I have a question--if I have wood cabinets that are stained and sealed, what do you recommend for prep work to paint them? My husband says I have to strip and all that, but the primer you used seemed like it would be sufficient if I sanded it. I hope you can help me out.
I would love to try to new painters tape, haven't had much success with non bleeding in the past.
Whitney, I love everything you do. This laundry room looks so pretty and fresh. What an inspiration. I would love to try the tape. I paint quilt boards for our county in Tennessee and use miles of painters tape, so a new product is of huge interest. Thanks for considering me!
Love your laundry room. Makes me want to do mine. Sure could use some of that tape.
Love the new cabinets and the red pulls! What a great idea.. leaving the door off the top! How wouldn't love doing laundry in there now?!
Love your transformation. Love the baskets. Would love to try the new tape as I have given up on tape because of past poor results.
Love the room!! I am just about to start painting our laundry room cabinets white. Hoping it opens up the room a bit.
Love the laundry room! Great job!
Pick me! pick me!
Please :)
LOVE the laundry room. The red knobs, awesome curtains and baskets are a great touch.
Love the change in your launry rom!
I wish I had a laundry room like that! Mine is in the basement...dark and dreary. Maybe I can spruce it up with some paint!
Love your makeover! I love the red too!
LOVE the room turnout, Whitney! It's just gorgeous -- I think I would be doing laundry all the time if mine looked like that! :) Haha! I'm really digging the color scheme with the grey and red -- it's just perfect! And those window curtains are FANTASTIC! Awesome job!!
My eyes were immediately drawn to the baskets. I LOVE them. I might have to make them my next project!
The room looks great! I wish my laundry room would look that nice:) I would love to go into the laundry room. The curtains are adorable. I would love to win this tape. Maybe it would motivate me to do some painting!!
Ooh! I've got a surprise painting project up my sleeve and this stuff makes it easy! Thanks for the giveaway!
I have fallen in love with your baskets! I am such a fan of burlap. I have a ton left over from my wedding and am always looking for a way to use it! Thanks for the idea!
love the little hints of red and the grey cabinets turned out great!
I LOVE your curtains:)

I love how you incorporated the red. Very unexpected for a laundry room. You've just inspired me!
Beautiful job well done!
I think my favorite part is the silver pail with the flower "sprigs"..even though it's probably the most simple, I love what it does!
I love your laundry room!!! We are getting ready to repaint our family room and kitchen...this tape sure would come in handy!!

Love the room. I have a extremely small laundry room/pantry/catch all. I've been looking for inspirations. Got some great ideas here. Thanks.

Love the gray paint with the red and leaving the middle open made a huge difference.
I love the baskets best of athe webbing, and binder clips. Way to go!
Looks great!

Woot!! Love scotch blue!!

NEVER thought grey would look better than white, I was wrong. and I really need some good painters tape that won't bleed through.
