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 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 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.
Now I spend my days working in the paint store… I’ve mastered the differences between this gallon and that gallon and could tell you exactly which roller will give you the smoothest finish. I’ve become the Paint Lady!
Painting your home doesn’t have to be overwhelming…
You may be wondering which brand of paint is best for your project or where to start with prep work…
“Do I need primer? How does paint and primer work?”
“How do I tell if my paint is latex or oil?”
“Why does one brand of paint cost so much more?”
Readers (and customers) just like you have asked each and every one of these questions. Painting your home can be a daunting task but it doesn’t have to be!
While I can’t make the physical work any easier I can lay out an easy-to-use road map for painting your entire home.
Why wait when you can learn how to paint your home right the first time… so that you can enjoy it for years to come.
