Currently the walls and ceiling are painted a yellowish off white and there are many stains and marks. After a quick trip to home depot we have decided to paint the walls in the good old Swiss Coffee, the ceilings in pure white, and the trimming in pure white gloss to freshen and brighten up the house. Steps to painting:
1) Use spackling paste to fill any holes, sand down (wearing a mask) when dry.
Swiss Coffee Walls:
2) Paint all edges with a paint brush.
3) Roller the large inner sections.
Pure White Ceiling:
4) Masking tape the edge where the Swiss Coffee meets the ceiling.
5) Paint the ceiling edges.
6) Use a roller on a pole to paint the inner ceiling.
Trimming/Doors/Skirting Board:
7) Masking tape the edge where the Swiss Coffee meets the trimming.
8) Paint the trim with primer (The skirting boards are very smooth and this helps with adhesion).
9) Apply the gloss paint with a small ultra smooth roller.
Every inch of the house needs repainting, so I expect this job will take us a number of weeks, I will post pictures as I go.
