"Painting" the easiest improvement project!

I am sure the colors used above may appeal to some people and wow what an impression this would make when entering a room don't you think? Painting is by far the easiest project in a home or business and when you think of a coat of paint you have to love the simplicity. I recently painted my new office at the urging of my boss to create my unique space "as it was put to me by my Boss".
While my maze and blue on three of the walls for the team my kids love was a hard pill to swallow, I did satisfy my own team loyalty with my green and white wall. While my choice of colors looks odd to some, it suits my needs and is definitely unique to me like the photo above.

Home Depot like many retailers carries the supplies necessary and sometimes has great promotions on paint for every purpose - watch the holidays when deals like these make perfect sense even if your the procrastinator, buy paint when its on sale along with the other supplies. Buy the kits since in most cases the kit with rollers, brushes, trays, tape are usually priced at a substantial savings and priced as if you are buying one brush. People paint when they sell a house so the people who move in can change the color and paint over it. Do you know why? Because its the easiest project to improve the look!

 

The video above explains how to prep and paint the interior walls so to break it down to basics remember 4 things!

1.Clean the walls

2. Repair the Walls

3. Tape off areas you don't want to paint and cover the floor

4. Use the new paint and primer in one 

Remember that a few items make this job easy; you will need a ladder or step stool and maybe an extension pole for those who are vertically challenged. The basics are patch material, tape, brushes, rollers, a tray, and drop cloths. Along with a can opener and with most paints cleanup is water and some dishwashing soap. The whole thing may cost $150 if you need to purchase the ladder or step stool. Pick a great color and start the project just remember that painting is the least expensive project that has the biggest eye appeal effect!
