Default Do you feel confident?

I've been spending the past few weeks painting rooms and bathrooms. I just finished in the nick of time before DSD with the last bathroom. After I was done my husband said, "do you think you can paint my office?" I love him, of course I'm going to paint it--but as his Christmas present. I then joked with him, "why can't you do it?' to which he replied he didn't know or trust himself to paint. This baffled me because I guess I always thought everyone could paint a room.

So my question for you is do you feel confident that you could paint a room a different color, including painting the ceiling. Could you do it? Would you do it or you hire someone to do it for you?

Yep. I've painted many rooms. My hubby is too messy -- I wouldn't LET him paint.

I agree with Dawn. I wouldn't trust my husband to do as good of a job as I do, lol. But, he could do it.

I love painting! Well, maybe I don't love the actual painting, but I love the end result. I've done all different kinds of painting - it's a great way to make a change for not a lot of money... esp. if you do it yourself! My favorite wall in the house is one I stenciled

I feel confident in doing it and my husband is actually really good at it too. I just HATE painting!

We have never owned a home so I've never painted a room before TBH.

I'm sure I could but my husband would be super OCD abt it & insist that he do it himself b/c he would have 200 different rules for The Way It Must Be Done so I'd step aside and tell him to knock himself out.

I don't know. I've never painted a wall before.

I have painted almost every room in the house! I like to try new things & get bored easily- so it's a relatively inexpensive change! I did a Chevron wall in my son's room, stripes in my daughter's room, a stencil in our room, just an accent wall in our living room & painted my laundry room bright coral! lol! Our guest room is next but I"m not sure which direction I want to go yet...
