Paint dilemma’s
So, as I mentioned, we signed the papers for our new apartment on Friday! (Party!) One thing we noticed rather recently is that the last occupants must have been pretty heavy smokers because all the walls and especially the corners are a tobacco-brown shade (the walls are white..ish) So we thought, hmm, definitely going to have to paint pretty much the whole apartment.
A friend of ours recently had to paint his apartment when moving out (typical German-style rental agreement) and he said, never again, too much work, better pay to have it done. Well, tonight we got our first quote on the paint job for the new place - which includes the ceilings and covering up the creative red-and-white striped walls in 2 rooms - and it’s for EUR1000!!! So I’m beginning to think, hmm, going to paint it myself instead.
What do you guys think? Any tips on painting ceilings or covering smoke stains and candy-cane stripes?
