the walls of your home is not difficult. Following simple steps can be fun too. The first thing to do is buy the materials that will serve us for our work.

To avoid too much struggle, I will paint the ceiling with the roller extendable handle. all over the ceiling, without worry of the angles that will review at a later time with the brush. While waiting for the ceiling to dry, let’s give the first coat of paint on the walls.
The walls will be painted with the brush following a precise technique. In fact, once wet the brush in the paint, we will begin to paint the walls, giving two or three strokes horizontally, and then two or three vertical strokes in the same area. In this way, the painting will be very homogeneous without drooling.
Once you have painted the walls in the first hand, we will spend a second coat to the ceiling, always using the roller. Then again, we’ll give the second coat on the walls, and with a scale we’re going to improve with the brush the corners between the ceiling and the walls. Our work is almost done.
Advice: do not buy too colorful paints because they are more difficult to use, and in the future if we want to whitewash the house again, more difficult to cover. The ceiling always try to paint it white in color, with a lot more light to the room. Always use washable paints and breathable.
If the walls are a little wet, you can spend before you paint, paint a transparent fixative.
These require special effects, as well as the specific paintings, even an experienced hand. Therefore, if you’re not handy craft is a good idea to take advice from people in the camp, which will surely direct you to the right choice.
