I live in a newly-built home and when we bought it, it was painted top-to-bottom Brilliant White. Ceilings, doors, walls, windowsills — everything was a blank canvas. I vowed I'd paint everything straight away, but you know how life is.
Three years later, I finally booked a few days off work, determined to turn my Pinterest small home-office mood board into a dopamine-decor reality by painting the walls and ceiling. I thought it would be straight forward, but I learned a few key things I wish I'd known before starting. I'm sharing them to save you the hassle of learning them the hard way, like I did.
