Belive me its a fun to paint yourhouse with your own house and to build the interiors, its like designing your life yourself with your own hands, my wife who is an architect is keen to do all about herself and we join together to have a nice walls and hangings with lovely paitings handmade to colaborate and in sync with the colours of the bedroom!

Hi, we painted the interior of the house ourselves - the hall, rooms and so on. It was tough and tiring work though; it took us 2 weekends. The cleaning up, as usual was left to me; and you can imagine how I complained!. But now looking at our work - beautifully painted walls - it is worth the effort. However, I hope not to do any more painting for the next year or two!

Yes, as a matter of fact i have, but it wasn't very much fun. Are you trying to pull a Tom Sawyer? LOL ... I'd rather be fishing!

I have painted before. Lots! Inside, outside, individual rooms. My oldest daughter's nursery was the biggest oopsie, though. We'd picked out a light yellow, somehow got home with a flourescent yellow, and didn't realize it till part way through. Poor kid slept in a room practically the color of the sun for two years! We'll be re-painting again soon, though probably over Xmas break, so the kids can help. So, I'm re-reading stuff on ideas and stuff at www.housepaintingtutorials.com/house-paint-colors.html. Good luck!

Once we tried to paint ourselves with the walls.We don't try it on the ceilings.Just on the walls to the height we can reach easily.Me and my wife painted a little,but id doesn't had the finish like a professional painter would do.So,we had to repaint it later again.But it was a wonderful experience,I bet.Cheers!

Yes, I have done it once. My sister and I painted the house along with my father, but it is sad that we sold that house later when we were in need of some money. I was fun and an interesting experience.

You are right. Even though I haven't done it before but I am planning to design my own house and be part of its building process. I don't mind if takes a long time to complete as long as I am satisfied with the results. I want to build a house that is unique, like no house is similar to mine. It would be very wonderful.
