355/365

so i've figured out that i can paint all the small-ish rooms in the house

using only the sample cans of paint.

the quarts of paint cost over $20

and i probably wouldn't use the entire can anyway.

meanwhile, the sample cans of paint

cost a whole $3.

i'm a cheapo, i know!

but my laundry room and my dad's bathroom

have all gotten a fresh coat of paint

and it's looking gorgeous.

a definite improvement over the hideous wallpaper that was there before.

and fyi: behr paint from home depot does a fabulous job

of covering up wallpaper in only one coat.

but make sure you get the paint and primer in one.

we painted the wallpaper in our kitchen a few monthes ago

with valspar from lowes,

paint and primer in one

and it was horrible.

we had to use so many coats of paint and it's still not very good looking.



behr does a MUCH better job.

and yes, they were the exact same wallpaper in each room.
