Hello there!
Looks soooo great. We are currently doing the same thing in our 2 storey farmhouse… and considering getting a sprayer becuase its taking soooo long. It looks like someone just took a hammer to it a thousand times so I have to skim coat with spackle to get it smooth, then quite a few coats of advance because its soooo dark.

What kind of paint did you use with your sprayer? What kind of sprayer did you end up getting?

Thanks guys :) Looks soooo amazing!

WHOA! You guys are living in my house! Brick colonial that has miles, and miles, and miles of that snazzy blue trim. I have right now 12+ blue doors that all need to be painted. Ouch. Love your tips about the sprayer. Your home looks great and it’s nice to know I’m not alone ;)

In reply to Chelsea. Thank you Sherry :-) I may have to give a short handled brush a try!

I love a short handled paint brush (gives you a lot more control) here’s a post about that. And here’s a post with a video showing a few tips for how I cut in/edge. Hope it helps!
