Paint a room! The order in which to paint a
room is essentially top to bottom. That means start with the ceiling, then
do the walls and finally paint all the woodwork. To paint a ceiling, begin
by painting the edge of the ceiling along the walls with a brush. Paint out
about 2" to 3" onto the ceiling. This will provide an area to overlap with
the roller. |

The easiest way to paint a ceiling is with a
roller and an extension handle. This allows you to stand on the floor while
you paint. If need be, you can use a stepladder, but it is much slower going
and awkward. Start in the corner of the room and work your way across the
narrowest dimension of the room with a band about 4 feet wide. Continue back
and forth across the room until you are finished. |
