My husband, C, and I have been in a debate whether or not to paint the living room and dining room in our new house ourselves, or if we should hire professionals. We’ve asked around for painter recommendations, and most of our friends didn’t have positive things to say about those they hired. So, we are now leaning towards doing it ourselves, and then if it really sucks, hiring someone to repaint before we sell the house.
My sister recently did her own painting project, and she recommended I check out Sherwin-Williams. I guess they sell kits for painting (all brush sizes and tape included), special plastic coverings for your crown molding, fantastic paint that usually only requires 1 coat, etc. So, since they were already closed yesterday by the time I decided to check them out, I went to their website and found awesome tips on how to paint your own home, including a little video on painting technique!
We are going over to the store tonight to check out supplies and look at colors. I have high hopes, since simply visiting their website made me feel a lot more comfortable with the whole process.
