taken at a Darrell Hill painting seminar in Hawaii
We ended up buying foam rollers which are much smaller than your typical roller but everyone said they were quite nice. Jess and I had never seen them before, I think they are intended to use on doors and cabinets, we’ll let you know how it goes. We also got a rolling edger since we have a lot of molding in our house and Melissa Stanton said we should get one. She’s pretty much the local expert on painting right now since they just bought a house and a redoing it all.
We had a small trim edger in our hands but the lady that worked there said that she had one and threw it away and recommended us a small brush. We got a corner brush too. It was really nice to get real help in a store.
We bought Valspar Hi-def paint. It’s a paint that you don’t have to use a primer with. We also bought matte finish, because the lady that was there buying paint asked us if we had a lot of flaws in our walls. We answered with an emphatic yes. She said glossy paints show the walls flaws more. So we bought the flat matte.
Here’s a pic of how things are looking before the paint
We’ll keep you updated
