Inside the Paint Can: Beginner Tips and Tricks for Interior Painting

Inside the Paint Can… Beginning Painting Tips to Help You Paint Like a PRO!

Hey y'all,

After four long months of writing I can hardly believe we’re at this point! I’ve spent countless hours pouring over the keyboard… tip tapping my little heart away in order to put this eBook and all the Bonuses together away for y’all!

Of course the book really began long before I ever sat down to begin writing… it began long ago with a little girl and a basic (start white) army wall.

Betsy

Growing up as an Army brat there were no opportunities to paint our home… our walls were basic white and that’s how the Army liked it!

I can remember wishing to paint my walls pink (my love affair with the girly color started young y’all… although green was my favorite color as a really little girl. Go figure!) either way I had white walls and very little knowledge on anything paint related.

Once I was out on my own I was finally able to paint but I had to start learning from the bottom… ground zero. I remember buying a can of paint for Mom’s craft room… several hours later we had plenty of facebook worthy photos (we bought scrubs from the second hand store to paint in so we were feeling quite silly that day!) but we still didn’t understand the difference between this gallon and that gallon. Paint was a foreign subject that we had yet to master.

If you’re anything like I was then standing in a paint store staring at the dozens of options can be very confusing and don’t even get me started on achieving a professional finish!

Of course that means I spend most of my days answering questions for wonderful folks… just like you! I never set out know quite so much about paint but once the army took their white walls and hit the road Mom and I set out to paint every wall in sight…. and we learned quite a bit while doing it!
