Painting thoughts

We've just gone through a bit of painting at home and are planning some more. The thing is that it always takes longer than I thought that it would and it never looks as nice. I see all the flaws, even if no one else does.

We ran out of time, but I regret not doing a little more prep work. Going around with a really bright light and finding and fixing all the flaws. It would take a bit more time, but I think that it would be worth it.

If you don't want to put in the time to do the extra prep work - my advice is to start taking lights out of a room. Nothing shows flaws like lights close to walls. When you can't fix 'em, hide 'em.
