2017 Paintover Challenge^® participants include:

• AKA Design: As an interior designer, writer and home-schooling momma, Shannon loves to spread her home decorating knowledge to her readers. She believes everyone can learn to decorate their home and her goal is to help her audience do just that.
  
  
• Emily A. Clark: A mom of five, Emily lives for the thrill of the hunt, shopping for secondhand treasures and rearranging her furniture. She believes a huge DIY skill set and a big budget aren't necessary to make a home a prettier place to live, and loves sharing her ideas and adventures in home decorating.
  
  
• Hi SugarPlum!: Cassie is a style and décor-obsessed Texas girl, and proud mom of two. She loves sharing colorful room makeovers, inspiration for stretching wardrobes, travel adventures and life as it comes.
  
  
• Hunted Interior: Kristin inspires others to hunt for their own style to make their life and home more beautiful. She believes it is not what you spend that gives your home style, but rather, how you layer a space together. Kristin is obsessed with vintage rugs, leopard, flipping through design magazines and her family.
  
  
• Our Fifth House: Carmel is a wife and mom with a passion for color and pattern, who isn't afraid to get some paint in her hair. She believes design should be fun, not complicated, and lives for quick under-an-hour DIY projects, bargain hunting and furniture rearranging.

In the few beautiful moments when she isn't entertaining her two sons, she can usually be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust.

"Getting inspired is just the first step, and the FrogTape^®Paintover Challenge^® is about showing consumers how to incorporate personality and style into their homes," said Allison Shagovac, influencer marketing manager, ShurTech Brands, LLC. "This year, we really want to emphasize that home makeovers can easily be accomplished by even novice DIYers. By incorporating the new consumer voting portion into the challenge, we are hoping to provide inspiration to those that may think they need a professional's help and large budget to make over a room in their home."

All of FrogTape^® brand painter's tapes are 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.
