Painting your home Yourself?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 89/100. msbayrakdar (872) 5 years ago

We paint our home ourselves almost every year because we (me and my wife) love painting... It helps a lot to watch House decorating/changing programs on TV especially BBC (Changing rooms), we get nice tips for our next paintings and colors and note it down...

Hi msbayrakdar, I love painting too. The whole activity like getting the right colours, what brushes to use and the new paint smell, I just love it. I painted my house last year and believe it I did it all by myself. I was very satisfied with my achievement and the end result.

Thats nice too see someone else also liking to paint.... Thanks for the response... Do you watch any tv program or ask someone about painting?

I am very happy to know that you people do yourself painting, It is real hardwork. I have never tried of doing it myself.


myLot reputation of 89/100. msbayrakdar (872)  5 years ago

:) It is actually hard if I try to paint many rooms at once, but it is fun if I take my time, like one room every week... The most difficult part for me is painting the ceiling... However if you have long stick and good roller it makes it easier a bit... Thanks for your response...

I love to paint! Just seeing my finished work brings a smile to my face, knowing I did it myself.I get ideas to decorate from everyday tv shows or books.


myLot reputation of 89/100. msbayrakdar (872)  5 years ago

Yes, I can actually see that smile of yours in my mind... It is really a satisfying feeling a person gets after finishing the painting...

I am the same lol. I haven't my own place at the moment yet but when I do I will do a lot of the work myself. My dad always taught us to do these things since children. So I know how to paint walls, strip and put up wallpaper, strip and paint wood and all sorts of decorating and I am known as the ARTEX queen lol as I have artexed many a friend's home in distress and I also love programs like changing rooms.


myLot reputation of 89/100. msbayrakdar (872)  5 years ago

It is nice to keep what our parents taught us and do it still when we need it... I remember watching my father while he was painting the ceiling and i was getting amazed that he used to not let one single drop of paint to fall down...

Painting the house with the advice from fashional programmes is a good way.But paniting needs skill too,are we skilled enough to do the job well?That's a problem,i think.Besides,we don't know which material is better,so it's hard for us to select it from the supermarket.You know,there are so many painting materials which do great harm to our body.That's a problem too.


myLot reputation of 89/100. msbayrakdar (872)  5 years ago

In actual fact i also do not know usually that what kind of paint i should use for where however, i do buy the paints from shops only sell paint and ask the guys there what should i buy, and they give good advice most of the time... regarding the skill, i practiced a lot with many in bad shape places and it is actually easy to paint walls with rollers... thanks for the response... take care...

I have never painted a room myself, I am not very artistic. But my husband is wonderful at these things, he has painted both inside and outside the home.


myLot reputation of 89/100. msbayrakdar (872)  5 years ago

That's very nice of your husband... however i am not sure if you know how fun it is to paint and it actually does not need much talent... thanks for the response .... take care..
