Your First Paint Job

The most frequently question I'm asked is, "How do I make over my room for cheap? I'm sure many of us out there know the answer (say it all together now...)
PAINT!
Paint comes in a wide variety of brands, types, textures and of course COLORS- which can cause some to be overwhelmed.






















If it's your first time painting a room I recommend you ask me what type would be good for you, or you go to your local Sherwin-Williams (most highly recommended! Not that i have anything against these other stores- Lowe's, Home Depot, and Walmart- where paint can also be purchased-it's just when i was younger, i painted my room for fun (literally once a year. My family said my walls were 1 foot smaller than any other room in the house because there had so much paint on them- by the way-they weren't) and their employees are not nearly as knowledgeable as those at Sherwin-Williams. You may think paint is paint, but there can be the BEST paint for a certain room.

Once you've started to paint, remember not to freak out! This is a change you are making, and a lot of people get really nervous midway through.
Always finish what you started and chances are you are going to really like it.

Remember to:
1. Wear old clothes, you most likely will get paint on you (put hair up and out of your face)
2. Listen to good music
3. Eat breakfast
4. PRIME!
5. Feel good about calling this your work out for the day
6. Not make any drastic decisions until you have your room all put back together
7. Enlist in the help of friends to make it go faster
8. Don't inhale too many fumes
9. Realize that (usually) one coat, is not enough
10. Feel good about making a positive change


And remember if you REALLY don't like it. You can always repaint it.
