@realiferenovation #ad How to make a $500 piece of art for only $50 Kylie wants our house to make a grand first impression when you walk in, so she suggested we buy a $500 hand-painted giant map of our hometown to hang when you walk in. But I’m not spending that kind of money on a statement piece and we’re definitely not professional painters to do it ourselves. But luckily with ScotchBlue™ PROSharp™ Painter’s Tape and a little projector, we were able to make the perfect accent wall for only $50 in tape and paint! With just a little creativity and some @scotchpainterstape, the possibilities are endless, so make sure you grab a roll for your next project! #PROSharp
