I love to paint. I use to paint my rooms at least once a year. I get bored easily and its a cheap way to change things around. When I move in with my brother he is going to let me paint my own room. I can't imagine what he would come up with. Something blue no doubt. I am in a green phase right now. :-)
Of course when I paint I have to make a new bed quilt and new window coverings. <G>

I love the Behr paint with primer...it is WONDERFUL! Good coverage, smooth to work with!

My husband will to the walls and ceilings because he can use a roller for that. I have to do all the cutting in and the trim because he doesn't like that part. Well, guess what, I don't either, but I have a little more patience than he does.

I have so enjoyed the responses. Makes me feel like I'm not alone in the 'I hate to paint' crowd. Another reason painting is so hard is that is makes my carpal tunnel act up. I actually end up dropping the brush- full of paint! So, lots of tarps and rags whenever I do this.

I just hate painting.. love the clean look when done ... but I 'd rather have a root canal.... or rip out lots of seams.... or peel potatoes... or ....well the list is pretty much endless.

I hate to paint but DH needs motivation so I usually start the project and have him come and see my work. Of course I am doing it the hard way so he takes over. There is a method to my madness.

Love to paint ... hate the amount of time it takes from "oh I'm going to paint" thought to actually opening the can to paint.

There's cleaning out the room and wiping everything down, moving furniture, fixing anything wrong with walls. Not to mention putting things back into place.

Also enjoy doing it when there's not an immediate deadline...like tomorrow!

I actually LOVE to paint (except maybe ceilings!) It's the prep work that I dread ... cleaning, caulking, spackling ...
I love seeing what a change a new color brings to a room. I"ve used just about every brand there is and I have my favorites - but any good quality paint will always give much better results.
Quality BRUSHES and rollers are JUST as important as the paint ... Don't use the cheap stuff :)

I hate to paint but I love the look after it is done.

This is so funny that you mentioned painting - I just finished two rooms this week-end. I ADORE the "bear" paint....and have only used that brand for years. A decorator chose a color from the upscale Ben M...collection, so Home Depot matched the color in "bear" paint exactly. Home Depot has a computer program that does the matching for them. It doesn't drip and does a terrific job in just one coat....now back to sewing!
