Painted Leaf Place Mat

Kiwi, cream, and tangerine set this exotic table. Use painter's tape to evenly space the napkin stripes. Leave the tape in place while you paint to get crisp edges; peel back a bit on each strip as you paint if you want a freehand finish.

Painting and Staining Baseboards
When choosing new baseboards consider the finish. Whether it will be painted, stained, or left natural determines the material selection. Wood is the traditional choice, but it's not your only option. If you're planning to paint the trim, manufactured materials such as medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and plastic moldings (including urethanes and other synthetics) are good-looking, budget-conscious alternatives.
