Preparation is one of the most important things to consider if you want to have a good paint job. One should take time in preparing the walls for painting with the most careful attention to detail. The time spent for preparation is the key factor to ensure a top quality job.

I think it would be best to wait until the paint is dry, and then do another full coat.

Stripes may not be the best choice for a wall that isn’t straight. They’ll highlight any flaws (just like some people avoid wearing horizontal stripes).

Totally feasible. There shouldn’t be a lot of dust from just spot sanding a few little areas, but you may want to cover the furniture with a drop cloth to be safe, especially if you’re not an experienced painter. Better safe than sorry.

I love the color of the pink paint in your first photo of your studio. Would you please share the name/brand?

TIA!

Only a couple of years ago we did a whole house repaint and boy did it stink, literally. We were luckily able to air the house out because it was late spring but still it was quite a powerful smell. Last week my husband and I repainted our daughters nursery to reflect more of her grown up style. I didn’t hardly notice a sent at all and we hadn’t purchased a special paint. Being that it is winter here and a high of 22 degrees I guess we lucked out. Funny how in such a short time products can change so much.

These are awesome instructions. Now if I could just make myself WANT to paint. I’m not a big fan of painting b/c of how long it takes. I repainted my entire house a few years back because I wanted a change but towards the end I started to get sloppy b/c I was so sick of doing it. :(

I have just finished painting my landing with dulux one-coat white paint and it has come out all patchy. What can i do to get rid of these patches?

The patches are all over and I have applied 2 coats on two walls. The paint tub says to touch up rather than put another coat on, but paint strokes can be seen! I really am loosing my rag with this task.
