Paint Your Lounge
By Stephen Kaye

OK, here s what you do to decorate your front room.

First of all, you start by removing all the stuff that is removeable. Whatever is left should be very well covered with good dust sheeting. That includes the carpet too.

Prepare all the walls, the ceiling, the woodwork, and anything else you want to paint.

Paint the ceiling. Start at one end and work towards the other. Use a big, fluffy roller. You will get paint in your face but you should have washing facilities available such as a good shower for when you finish. Oh, and wear some OLD clothing.

Then paint the walls. Cut in neatly along the ceiling line so that you have a nice clean line. Walls usually need at least two coats of paint, so allow for giving the walls two coats. Remember that red is the hardest colour to cover so if this is the case, allow for three to four coats!

Assuming you have already given the door frames, skirting and window frames a light sanding (and cleared up the dust), you can now apply one coat of a good acrylic primer undercoat (dries faster than spirit-based). When it s dry, give the same treatment with the top coat.

When all the paint is dry, clean up fully and put everything back.

In later EzineArticles, I will take this procedure apart step-by-step so you really know just what to do!

In the meantime, don t let your brushes dry out!
