A nursery makeover with FrogTape to make these perfect squares. #frogtape

What happens here

With the wall already masked into a checkerboard grid, the painter stands on a 'Little Giant Jumbo Step' ladder and uses a small paint roller to apply a light gray accent paint to the unmasked, alternating squares. They meticulously ensure even coverage within each square, working carefully up to the tape edges. A 'Dynasty' paint bucket is held with one hand for easy access to the paint, allowing for efficient loading of the roller.

Goal: Apply the accent paint color to create the checkerboard pattern.
