Transcript excerpt

I'm DIY ing my own wallpaper from scratch because my wife thinks normal wallpaper is too permanent for our son's worse. And so I came up with this crazy idea rank to my partner Scotch Blue Pro Sharp painters tape, but before I could see if it actually worse, Kylie just kept adding new details that she wanted in the room rank who am I to complain? She's the one that had to carry a baby for nine months. But when she randomly bought a boat, I almost lost my mind. But then I realized she actually had a really cute idea. So I whipped out my Scotch Delicate surface painters tape to still get those crisp lines on a newly painted surface and it worked like a charm. But now for the main event, will this DIY wallpaper actually look good? And will Scotch Blue Pro Sharp painters tape stick to its claim of using edge lock plus technology to deliver their sharpest line yet? But first, let's give it up to Kylie for the cutest bookshelf idea. And without further ado, shout out to Scotch Blue because this is everything she fished for and more.
