Save Time and Energy When Deciding on Paint Colors
Have you ever painted a whole wall of a new room, only to find that you hated the color when it dried? I have and it is not a fun feeling. To save yourself a lot of time and energy, paint a square of drywall and prop it up against the wall you will be painting. If you are debating between several colors, paint squares for each color. Let them dry and then see how they look. Since they are right against the wall you will be painting, the light will hit them just like it would the newly painted wall and you’ll get a true idea of how the colors will look.
No more days spent painting and repainting the same wall! After all, when you are renovating an old house, you have a list the size of an epic poem and you don’t have time to paint in the first place, let alone repaint.

This is a great idea that I never thought about (duh!)

Libby, I learned this tip through sad experience. There’s nothing like painting the same wall three times.
