    Default Painting!!

    So today Ive decided that I dont like 2 tone blue walls in my bedroom. I wanna paint it more neutral, like a creamy brown or beige like the other bedroom. Imma do this myself. All the paints in the garage. Ive never painted a day in my life. Unless you count finger paint.... Any artsy painters here? I'm not sure how to make the blue not show thru the beige or whatever color it is out there......

    Here's the color now....goes all the way around the room like this. UGH Makes decor hard...

    Over here, we have a brand that only takes one coat to be done, but I'm guessing you're going to have to layer up about 3 layers of paint before that stops showing through - I'm redecorating my room at the minute and like a genius, decided I wanted two walls light cream. So much painting, argh.

    I do think that's what it's called (goddamnit, I leave everything up to the boy and then don't know what I'm talking about), your local hardware store can tell you just what you need, they were super helpful when I needed to resurface a wall.

    You're going to need more than 9 hours.

    A good primer will help, but since that blue is so vivid, you'll still need at least 2 coats of paint over the primer, and each coat needs to dry completely.
