15 Ways to Transform Your Entire House with Just Paint
Our best posts for choosing the right color, when to use primer, how to paint materials in your house like brick, siding, patios, cabinets, light fixtures, furniture, doors, showers, and more.
With the rec room makeover trucking right along at the Carney project, Robert and I are ALL about the paint this week. And it got me thinking about all of the projects where paint made a massive transformation.
To be honest, I’ve lost count of how many paint projects we’ve done.
But every single one always takes my breath away. It’s the best way to make a massive visual impact for often not a whole lot of money… that is, as long as you know the “rules” and tricks of paint.
So I rounded up 15 of our best posts for choosing the right color, when to use primer, how to paint all sorts of materials in your house like brick, vinyl siding, concrete patios, cabinets, light fixtures, furniture, doors, showers & tubs, and more.
Seriously, it’s a lot. And it’s glorious.
