Painting Ceilings Without a Mess: A Guideline
In a recent home improvement project, blogger and photography enthusiast [Name] has given their house a stunning makeover, starting with the walls and ceilings.
The house, previously adorned with an awful tan colour, now boasts a fresh and contemporary look, thanks to the new colour scheme. The walls, painted in Sherwin Williams Worldly Gray, have been transformed into a good greige colour that [Name] describes as "rocking".
However, the journey to this new aesthetic was not without its hiccups. [Name] initially attempted to paint the ceilings without a drop cloth, a method [Name] was able to pull off successfully, but [Name] advises caution for those who may feel uneasy about splattering paint.
Unfortunately, [Name] was forced to paint the walls due to running out of ceiling paint while working late at night. This unexpected turn of events led to a minor mishap when [Name] used a regular roller cover with a paint stick, causing paint to explode onto the carpet. Fortunately, the carpet made a full recovery, but [Name] urges caution to avoid a similar situation.
To prevent such incidents, [Name] recommends using a special paint roller that eliminates the need for paint trays. This innovative tool works by allowing the user to suck the paint up into the handle. A paint brush is also necessary for cutting in. The roller cover used with this method has a perforated inside that allows the paint to seep through and saturate the roller cover evenly.
Before painting the walls, the colour of the walls and ceilings was intensifying the tan colour of the walls. The new colour of the walls significantly improves the overall appearance of the house, particularly in photographs. [Name] dislikes the tan colour because it reflects poorly in pictures and has a peachy/pink hue in certain lights.
In an unexpected twist, [Name] decided to paint the ceiling the same tan colour as the walls, making it difficult to bounce light off of. However, [Name] has found a way to paint ceilings without making a huge mess. [Name] advises against using a regular roller cover with the paint stick to avoid user error and potential mess.
In a final touch, [Name] decided to paint one of the rooms in a bright, vivid green colour named "Klekks No. 27". This colour is perfect for relaxing and lounging, according to [Name], and adds a pop of colour to the otherwise neutral-toned house.
Overall, [Name] is thrilled with the transformation of their house and encourages others to take on similar projects to improve the look and feel of their homes.
