It's a block party! Add color and excitement to your plain walls by creating squares in complementary colors. You do not need to be a Picasso to paint these walls. The Neapolitan colors: Bistro White 7006-4, Chantarelle MS096, Macaroni MS089, and Silk Kimono MS011 from the Martha Stewart Colors. Photos and instructions from Lowes. To paint the squares - you'll need painter's tape, a measuring stick, and four coordinating paint colors for this project. First, measure the height and width of your walls. Subtract 5 inches from the height (to allow for the five 1-inch rows of painter's tape), and divide this number by four to determine the dimension for the squares. Then use painter's tape to create a grid pattern on the wall. Apply a coat of paint to each square, and allow to dry. Tip: Before painting the squares, draw your grid on paper, and write in the colors that you plan to use in each block.
