Wisdom Seeker, Your ceilings sound cool being that high and all. I always thought ceilings like that were cool.Wisdom Seeker said:Ooooh, painting. I painted last spring. Looks like I'm going to have to paint again this spring. Not ceilings though. Our ceilings are really high. I would have to build a scaffold. (and I don't know how) Yeah...bad paint can be a real irritation. You go to all that trouble and effort and it has to be done over. How frustrating. If you think of it, I would sure like to know what paint you use if it turns out well. Tips like this are invaluable.
Thaks for the well wishes.
Asta mañana Fervid Princess.
Redgoddess, I will try your tip on the vanilla extract. Yeah, the dreeded smell of fresh paint that lingers is not a good thing. When you have guests over and they ask if you painted that day, and you actually painted two weeks ago makes you realize that when you live in the house you get used to the overbearing smell, but others smell it more strongly.Redgoddess said:One thing I learned about painting AFTER I painted my room is that if you mix a couple of spoons of Vanilla extract in the paint it will take the paint smell away faster. My room seem to smell for weeks of fresh paint.
Do you paint pictures of things. I used to paint when in High School, but cant ever find the time. Although, I have to draw something first and then paint it...not good at painting freehand. And, I guarantee ya that I will be covered in paint by the days end...my husband will get a laugh..he always does. That man can paint a whole house and not get one drop of paint on him, but me on the otherhand....dsdumpling said:Thanks Princess! I love to paint, just not walls.
Sophia23, I think expressive art is the best. I have been thinking about letting my daughters do that sort of thing in the rec room they have downstairs. Letting them pick the colors and take a brush and go crazy. It is their area for now.Sophia23 said:I had my room decorated sooooo nice - it looked like a room in a mansion might... (not with gold chirs - with like nice wood finish furnature, dark walls and paintings on - none of this "posters" malarky I used to have)
...
...then I kinda wrote all over my walls tonnes of slogans... oops
