The third most popular and highest ranked question on our home design forums is What is the best way to paint your home? So many people are interested in what the best way to paint is, but we really can’t be sure how to answer this question until we have a home in front of us. The idea here is that we can’t know what we should be doing until we have a home in front of us.
Here are a few things that we would do today if we were painting ourselves.
Paint your ceilings.
In this case, I would paint the ceiling of the whole house. I dont know why, but this really works for me. It’s a simple way to change the look of the room while still giving it a unique finish. The effect is so subtle that it’s really hard to notice it… but when you do, it’s amazing.
I would paint my walls. I would paint the walls of the whole house, not just the ceilings. I would paint all the floors and all the walls of the home. I would paint my front door, my entryway, and my back door. I would paint every room in the house. I would paint the kitchen, the living room, the den, the bedrooms, the bathroom, and of course, the master bedroom.
When I think about the home I grew up in, I feel like it’s a really weird, different version of what my current home would be like. But then I think about it, and I think, “Yeah, I don’t feel like it’s really different. I feel like it’s just like my current home. Except my house isn’t the one I grew up in.
The first thing I’d do is paint every room in my house. One of the reasons I moved out of the home I grew up in, and I had to move back in because my parent’s house had been damaged, was because I thought I was living in a house that didn’t feel like home, and I wanted to prove that I had some sort of homecoming home. So I basically painted every room in my house.
If you dont paint, you might get your house painted. Or you might get your house painted so you dont have to redo it. But if you are able to paint every room, its easy to see how such a house would feel empty. And if you are able to paint every room of the house, its easy to see how such a house would feel homey.
I think it is very possible to be a homey homeowner without painting, but I think it is quite possible to live in a house that doesnt feel homey.
The very idea of painting a house has been around for almost as long as painting has been around. I know I was in my late teens when I painted my house. I remember it being very dirty and the paint peeling off, but I was able to forget that until I moved into this house.
