hello comment from 3 years ago. I watched this video first. I still got my painters tape sticking to my hands and pants and getting all crooked. My drop cloth got tangled. I splattered paint everywhere. Knowing is half the battle. Not being an incredible clutz is the part that gets me though.

My walls right now has drawings, crayons, pencils, pen marks, and spider webs in the corners. All courtesy of a girl in her toddler days. The walls in this video has none of that but it doesn't matter as a spray bottle with mild detergent can take care of the spider webs and dirt. The paint with overwhelm and cover up the child's scribble and artwork, nice! Thanks so much for your video.

Prep work is the most important part of any paint job and takes the longest amount of time. A lot of people get in a hurry and just want to get paint on the walls and then get disappointed when their paint job doesn't look how they thought it would. If you're going to spend money to paint, spend some extra time and effort to prep the surface to ensure your paint job will turn out looking great.

It took me about four days of prep job the wall bc I had to put down a textured wallpaper which had a white wash on top and left a lot of glue behind... the wall underneath wasn't prepped nor had any paint job so it look like a funny patchy field. It was a lot of work but mostly it required so much waiting time!!. Sanding was definitely the best thing ever, it made the wall so smooth. Finally I could add the color to the wall when all the prep plus primer was done only to realize that the paint doesn't look even lol so it will require another day of waiting and another layer. Sigh. I can only imagine what I would have had to pay if I contracted anyone for this. But I'm doing a good job. Phew.

Love the videos, some great ideas. Me & the stores don't really get along though. I still remember the 1st time I saw one of these videos and went rushing there with my ideas. It has been a slippery slope. Every one I've been to has terrible customer service and inventory. I always dread having to go there. They try to make you feel as if you are the weird one for interrupting their day to ask for something they have a sign for, but don't carry in the store. They simply refer you to amazon.
