  2. Painting for Dummies!Whether once fresh walls have, over the years, become filthy and grimy or redecorating to add some color is the plan, sooner or later, most rooms are just going to have to be painted. No matter which of these circumstances is the case, painting the room is not always an easy task. On the contrary, it can be overwhelming, but the job can be a success if a few easy steps are followed. Now, where does a painting job start? Definitely there has to be some preparation before jumping into the actual painting. Preparing the room is often the most time-consuming step in painting a room. Once the room is prepared, the end is just around the corner! To do the whole job easier and faster, ask for some help from friends or family. The first job to do is make sure all the items needed to get the job done have been collected. The most essential item is the paint. For the best results, buy a high quality, one coat paint. Also, buy the right kind of paint. Semi-gloss is used on kitchens, bathrooms, and children's rooms. If it's a living room or a hallway to be painted, buy a flat paint. The rest of the essential items are the primer, if painting a light color over a darker color, brushes and rollers, and a paint pan. There is also the question of whether to use oil-based paint or water-based paint. Just about anyonewill advise not to even bother with oil based paint. If it is spilled on anything, it's nearly impossible to wipe off. Paint thinner would have to be used and that's just more mess than anyone should have to deal with. So, definitely buy a water-based paint; it's easy to clean up and does just as good a paint job as the oil-based paint. The next list of items needed includes masking tape, spackling paste, a drop cloth or an old sheet, newspapers, a sponge and some household cleaner, and some old clothes to wear while painting. Purchase these items at your local hardware store. If necessary. Ask an employee for assistance. The next step in preparing the room is to take everything off the walls and either put it all in another room or just in a pile in the middle of that room. Then move everything away from the walls and move it to the center of the room. Once that's done, cover the pile with the old sheet or drop cloth. This is to make sure no paint gets on your furniture. Not everyone includes this next step, but for the paint to stay on the walls longer, wash them using asponge and some Spic and Span. If the walls are grimy, just pour the cleaner directly on the wet sponge and scrub. If preferred, dilute the cleaner in a bucket of water. After lightly scrubbing all the dirt away, rinse all the soap out of the sponge with water and go back over the walls to rinse them off a bit. Read the following how-to paint essay:

  3. Taping is the most crucial step in preparing the room. Start with taping off the floor with the newspapers. Spread the papers open and tape them where the edge of the floor meets the wall. Do this all along the floor, taping the newspapers together as well. If anything else is touching the wall that's not being painted, for example the fireplace, mantle, trimming, or windows, tape them off as well. Now, if the ceiling is not being painted or is going to be a different color than the walls, run the masking tape along the ceiling where the walls meets it as well. This step is not necessary, but if there are holes in the walls from push pins or nails that are not going to be used again, cover them with the spackling paste and a paint spatula. Now, it's time to paint! Change into old clothes. If the color of the walls now is darker than the new color, paint a coat of primer on the walls first. Whether using a primer or getting right to the color, follow these next steps. Using a screwdriver or a paint can opener, open the can of paint. Next, take a paint stick and stir the paint thoroughly until all the oils are mixed together. Grab your handy paintbrush and dip it right in the can. Of course, don't drown the brush in paint; dip the brush just to the end of the bristles. On the way out of the can, lightly scrape the sides of the brush so no excess paint is dripping. Start by painting along the edges and corners of the walls. This step is called "cutting-in." It is done to make sure the edges and corners are covered evenly. It doesn't matter which corner or edge is started on; just make sure they are all covered. If by chance, paint happens to get on the furniture or something taped off, simply wipe it off with a wet sponge or rag, but do it before the paint dries. After finishing cutting-in, put down the brush and pick up the roller. Pour the paint into the paint pan and roll the roller through the paint until the roller is saturated. Now start the workout. Roll the paint on the walls evenly. If the paint looks uneven, don't panic. Let the walls dry overnight. However, if the walls are still uneven, roll on a second coat. This is why a high quality, one-coat paint is important; it saves time having to reapply a second coat. The room is now finished and the walls look great! All that's left to do is cleanup. Start by pouring the unused paint from the pan, back into the paint can. To get most of the paint back in, use the brush to scrape the paint back into the can. Next, wash all the paint from the brushes and rollers. Do this right away or the paint will dry on them. Make sure the brushes and rollers are washed thoroughly by holding them under the running water, cold or warm, until the water runs clear. Then set them aside to dry. Now go to all the places you taped and pull the tape off. Once that is finished, roll up the drop cloth, being careful not to get any paint on anything, and throw it away or save the cloth for future paint jobs. Now it's time to put everything back the way it was, but don't do this until the walls are dry! Actually painting the room was probably more work than it seems by reading the steps. Congratulations on a job well done. How much work is involved in painting and the amount of time it takes depends on how big the room is, how much furniture the room contains, and how many people helped get the job done. Following these steps, should make for a successful job.
