Let's Have Fun Painting Tips
| Miscellaneous If you have dark walls and you’d like a lighter color do this. Prime over the dark color, then you can paint your lighter color over the prime. Now warm colors like blue, green , and violet remind you of an ocean, and relaxation. So figure out what room you want these colors in. Remember they go in a room with no direct sun. Then come the cool colors. These look great in a sunny room. Reds, yellow, and oranges. Red would be nice in a sexy bedroom. Orange in a family room, or child’s room. Yellow I’d put in a hallway. Blue is good for a bedroom also. Light Green in a livingroom. Violet is good for a play area, or a child’s room. Kitchens are pretty in a sunny yellow, then do the cabinets and trim in chocolate brown. Use semi - gloss on woodwork, cabinets, and doors. Want the room to look bigger. Use a light color, and one color scheme. If the ceiling is low, paint it a bright white. Dark walls and ceiling, will make the room look smaller. If you have a long narrow room, and you want it to look wider, then paint both of the short walls a darker color, than the longer walls. Put the paint brush and roller, in a zip lock bag and into the freezer, when not in use. Or if the project hasn’t been completed in the color your using, at the end of the day. thaw it out later, and get on your way. Now let’s paint the trim in a room darker than the walls. All door knobs cover with aluminum foil. Keep a zip lock bag next to the phone when painting. If the phone rings, put the bag over your hand and answer the phone. Put plastic bowl covers over your shoes. Remove them when finished painting. Now when you purchase a can of paint, have them mix it up. I don’t care if it’s right off the shelf or not. They will mix it. Saves you time and arm work when you get home. Have Fun! I love to paint.
