how to paint like a non-professional

here are a few thought on how to paint like a non-professional:

tape everything and protect your floors.

taping was such a beat down,

but i'm so glad we did it.

so worth it.

invest in the tools of the trade.

we picked up two kits and a few extra rollers from the paint section at home depot.

we decided it was worth the extra $2 to get extra rollers instead of rinsing them out between colors.

paint with a buddy and leave them happy notes to cheer them up.

don't be cheap. buy a few samples.

you don't want to end up with highlighter yellow walls.

unless you like that sort of thing.

we ended up choosing the fourth one! :) and it is amazing!!

pick a good playlist. 

something to keep you focused and in the painting mood!

and last but not least...

paint messy.

at least i did...

somehow, bub-hub managed to remain spotless for the entire two day affair.

i had paint everywhere.

we worked so hard on the tape and protecting the floors...i wanted to put them to the test.

this was such a fun project, and i'm so glad bub-hub and i did it together

even though it took forever,

and even though i have blisters on my hands.
