I've been doing a lot of painting
lately so I thought I’d pass along some tips I've learned in the process of
painting. Lots and lots of painting.
My current color combo love is grays with bright white trim. It was previously grayish green with bright white trim. I've never really been all that into bright colors - I did have a red wall once, but it got old pretty fast.

How to choose colors: go to a paint store, or Lowes or Home Depot, pick up a massive amount of samples, look online at what's popular, mix it all together with what you like, the style of home you live in, your furniture, put together a palette and wah lah! You've picked your paint colors!
Let me just say, every
time someone asks me what I’m doing and I say “painting!” I get the same thing,
“UGH, I HATE painting!!” No one ever
likes painting. Why is that? I like
painting. So then I have to ask myself, do
people truly HATE painting or are they not using the right tools which makes
painting a much bigger chore than it should be?
Because really, painting is one of the fastest, easiest, least costly
ways to update a room or to give it a whole new feel or even just make it look
new again.
