The rules of the contest were simple; each blogger had to redo their space using three things: paint, painter's tape and a $1,000 budget. All six participating bloggers were each assigned one of the 2018 FrogTape^® Design Trends, identified by celebrity interior designer Taniya Nayak, to incorporate into their makeover. The process was documented on their blogs and on FrogTapePaintoverChallenge.com with before, during and after shots of the room transformations.

FrogTape^® brand painter's tapes are the only painter's tapes treated with patented PaintBlock^® Technology. PaintBlock^® reacts with the water in latex paint to form a micro-barrier against paint bleed. From bold accent walls to painted accessories, FrogTape^® painter's tape will ensure the bloggers achieve sharp, crisp lines and professional results on every project. There are several tapes available within the popular family of FrogTape^® brand products, including FrogTape^® Multi-Surface and FrogTape^® Delicate Surface.
