Painting Walls

[Jen Reese]

Wow---You guys are a wealth of painting information!  I think my 
problem is both the quality of paint used (pretty cheap) and not 
using the correct roller for the texture of my wall (smooth).  Thank 
you Cindy, Susanne, Tyler, June, Iggy and anyone I missed for your 
inspired painting tips and general renovation know-how.

(Sigh)  What I really wish for is enough money to have someone else 
paint my walls ;).  I'm just not a handy-woman at heart.

Now about color, we have a red room as well--the bathroom of all 
places.  It's bright red, cherry red, painted by the previous owner. 
The color has grown on us, though, and now we wouldn't change it. 

In my estimation the only thing that would make it better is bright 
blue or purple towels to increase the color volume (I'm actually not 
kidding--bland towels just don't work with this color).

My new bathroom is a deep sky blue and we have a sunflower-yellow 
bedroom--every other room is beige and next on my list for an 
overhaul. I really wnated the blue bathroom to be some shade of 
purple, but my *d*h nixed that--should he get any say-so if I'm the 
one doing on the work?!? I didn't think so, but decided to give in so 
I could choose the living room color <evil grin>


Jen, crossing her fingers that this will post, but copying it just in 
case....
