A new coat of paint can make a room cozy and welcoming without breaking the bank.

Take time when choosing your paint colors.  Decicde what colors will match your existing furniture and observe how the paint color looks at different parts of the day.  Choose several swatches at the store and compare in your home.  Don’t choose a color because it is “different” and catches your eye at the store.  Can you live with “different” for an extended period of time?

Preparation is imperative!  Cover floors and furniture, strip away old peeling paint, clean the walls and patch holes and cracks.  You will be more satisfied with the painting results.

The more extra effort and thought put into your painting decision the happier you will be in the long run.
