I’m so excited- I just found out that we can paint the walls in my new apartment (as long as it’s painted back when we move out). I think I want darker neutrals- gray, or maybe black for an accent wall. I’m just not quite sure where to start. That’s why I found this article by Debbie at Refresh Restyle- it’s a super detailed tutorial on how to prep your walls before you paint them:
-Look for damage on the wall- repair holes/dents with spackle, sand it, and remove dust
-Remove electrical plate covers
-STIR your paint!
-Remove fuzz from paint rollers with tape
-Use painters tape around areas you don’t want to paint!
-Paint away!
