      Ok so don’t get an angled brush and if you tape everything you don’t need a brush that small either it also doesn’t matter how you hold it unless you are cutting your own straight line then you should hold it like a pencil. Use a roller pole and don’t hand roll it from the ground like these idiots hahaha

    I was looking up tips on how to paint since I've never done it before. This video was awesome and our bathroom has been transformed just by painting. This is the very best video for new painters. Now I'm watching all these "The Weekender" videos that I've been missing.

  • @adorkable4321
    @adorkable4321 Před 5 lety +317

    Love these videos! HELPFUL TIP: I always cut the strip of the paper paint swatch with the name and sheen of the paint color of the room. Then I tape it to the inside of the light switch cover. That way if I don’t have the paint can for the room in my garage, I can take the light switch cover off and see exactly what I used in the room if I need to touch it up.

Now I’m going to the store and buy the bucket and practically everything. When you are painting with the brush it is clear that you know what you are doing. Love it. I’m going to paint my kitchen and I can’t wait to see it finished. ❤

    Awesome video! I saw all the blue tape that was used around the room. The paint brush that I would suggest is the 2 1/2 Richard gooseneck flexible paint brush extension. What is so unique about this paint brush is you can bend it and put it on the end of your extension pole. You won’t need to go up and down a ladder as much! You can purchase this unique paint brush at Lowe’s. Cheers!
