I wish this was done when we moved in but my timeline didn't go nearly as planned.Its not my favorite thing but i dont hate it. Made some decent money doing it while i was between jobs. Open rooms arent bad, bathrooms and kitchens suck though
The most accurate words ever spoken on INGO. Amazing how the cheapest way to make a room look different inevitably leads to very expensive ways to make a room look different.Painting always leads to more work as projects come up from it.
^^^This.^^^ I recently painted our bathroom. It's not very big. Maybe 7'x10' at the most, but I'd venture to say that I could probably paint our entire living room, dining room and hallway in about the same amount of time that it took to paint the bathroom.Its not my favorite thing but i dont hate it.

Last bathroom i did took me almost 5 hours in prep alone. Painting is easy and goes quick, its the prep and reassembling that sucks.^^^This.^^^ I recently painted our bathroom. It's not very big.

I've painted every wall in every house I've ever owned... most multiple times.I painted the ceiling of the media room in the basement on Saturday.
I too hate painting. Among my most hated painting jobs is bead board. Thick roller to get in the grooves, but not too thick. Enough paint, but no too much or it will get gloppy and cause drips.
Guess what some genius decided to put on the ceiling in the media room a couple of weeks ago.
Now I can add, trenching for a new driveway post lamp and piping 50 ft. And terrible shooting a bunch of stuff in the basement.... this thread was bad luck.Went to the in-laws today to do a single bathroom exhaust fan and 2 can lights... 2 fans, the lights, and a cost of paint in their master bath, im headed to m.i.l's dad's to put in a ceiling fan and a couple outlets.. for now... all because I offered to paint the ceiling for them later this week... lol
This. Last time I painted a room, it eventually required new curtains, a new rug and new fabric to recover the dining room chairsPainting always leads to more work as projects come up from it.
