Painting A House

It's not easy to paint a house. Look very simple and easy but when we started to do it... it's very hard. Actually I and my husband very excited to paint our house. We went to buy and choose the colour in the morning and then in the afternoon we started to paint. Wow!!! tired also... we just tried.. and is consider phase 1 first at the main wall. We will have phase 2 to be continue.
For the first time painting a house .... of course we did a mistake. Our mistake here is we did not do any study or ask professional person before we painted. So... the result is not really good. After we painted we found that something is not right.... my husband called his father to ask why the colour easily drop when we scratched the surface. My father in law told that we must wash or clean the wall before paint. The old colour must be remove it out also. Beside that we need to clean and prep the surface. Use a wire brush and a wide-blade putty knife to remove small areas of defective paint. Useful tip: The best time to paint is in late spring or early fall on a dry day that is not too sunny.

Choosing the colours is very important too. We go for JOTUN. We are not regret to choose this colour. It's make our house look fresh and happy go lucky. So much different if compared with the old colour because the old colour is very light and cool. I'm excited to wait for the phase 2 and the most important thing is our bedroom.
