If you're about to paint your house, you need to watch this video, or you run the risk of your project being dated before it's even finished. This is three designer tips without the designer price tag. Number one. Stop painting your ceilings white. Your ceilings go the same color as your walls, or 50% lighter. If you have crown molding, your ceiling goes the same color as your crown. That's it. It's not the year 2000. Stop painting your ceilings white. Number two, stop buying paint from the big box stores. Go to a proper paint store. There's not one line of finished paint carried at Lowe's or Home Depot or any of those places that is worth putting in your home. And if you wanna get it a little cheaper, just ask for their contractor pricing. Just because you're not a contractor doesn't mean they won't give it to you. And number three, stop putting semi gloss and gloss in your house. Walls go eggshell, ceilings go flat, woodwork no satin, and there's reasons for this. If you like these tips and you want more, please follow. I've got a thousand more.
