This is from Rose Katz [rosecatt@webtv.net]. It’s very clever and a man would never have thought of it.

What a mess I got into while painting my kitchen. I have one of those older homes with all sorts of nooks and crannies, even has a pantry.

Thing is, I wanted to paint the kitchen yellow and the pantry white, and every time I tried to blend the two colors of paint at the doorway, I was disappointed in the results. No matter how I did it, I couldn’t get a perfectly straight line, the paint would somehow run together.

Finally I decided to paint the doorway itself a pretty shade of apple green, which divided the two rooms nicely, and now I have no visible pantry line.
