Are you bored with the way your home looks, but not ready to spend a large amount of money on a renovation? If so, a quick rejuvenation can be accomplished by painting it. It doesn’t take years of experience and expensive tools to do a good job; all you need is good quality paint, some preparation and a steady hand.
Much of the quality of the work you do depends on the quality of the paint you use. There are 2 different types of paint available. One is latex based and the other is oil based. Oil based paint is more durable, but on the other hand, it take longer to dry and is more difficult to clean up. Latex paint, on the other hand, dries fairly quickly and can be washed off with water. The type of brush you should use will change with the type of paint. For latex, it is better to use a synthetic brush, since natural brushes will absorb the moisture from the paint. Natural bristles, however, work better with oil based paints.
