here are a few thought on how to paint like a non-professional:
tape everything and protect your floors.
taping was such a beat down,
but i'm so glad we did it.
so worth it.
invest in the tools of the trade.
we picked up two kits and a few extra rollers from the paint section at home depot.
we decided it was worth the extra $2 to get extra rollers instead of rinsing them out between colors.
paint with a buddy and leave them happy notes to cheer them up.
don't be cheap. buy a few samples.
you don't want to end up with highlighter yellow walls.
unless you like that sort of thing.
we ended up choosing the fourth one! :) and it is amazing!!
pick a good playlist.
something to keep you focused and in the painting mood!
and last but not least...
paint messy.
at least i did...
somehow, bub-hub managed to remain spotless for the entire two day affair.
i had paint everywhere.

we worked so hard on the tape and protecting the floors...i wanted to put them to the test.
this was such a fun project, and i'm so glad bub-hub and i did it together
even though it took forever,
and even though i have blisters on my hands.

I'm a messy painter too.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how much taping you did! I thankfully had a friend who was all "I'm good at trim. I'll come do that for you so you don't have to tape." Have at it I said!
You went all out with the tape and floor covers! And playing in the paint too.
ReplyDeleteLove your secret messages on the wall. :) We do that too.

ReplyDeleteFantastic job! :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the finished product, isn't it awesome how paint can change everything?!
We need to paint the rooms in our house so bad!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your color choices.
I can't wait until we move because in this new apartment I think I'm actually going to paint the walls. Looks like you picked a great color!
