Some Helpful Painting Dos and Don’ts

MarinaHanes ~ 20 October 2010

In comparison to wall papering, painting is so much easier. However, even though it’s simpler to paint a wall, there are so dos and don’ts that you have to keep in mind. Mistakes can happen, but if you avoid them, you can save money and get the look you desire.

Use neutral colors for a home that you’re going to sell. If you’re not going to be living in your current home for long, avoid bold color choices.

Before you start painting, clean your walls, fill holes and sandpaper any uneven areas.

Measure your walls so you can purchase the right amount of paint you need. By guessing, you could waste money buying too much.

Tape your walls and window trim, because you don’t want to spend money and time fixing boo boos.
