“A room looks wonderful with a fresh coat of paint. But if you have a “Love-Hate” relationship with painting, you’ll want to read our tips on getting a great finished product. You might even enjoy the project as much as the finished product! “ And if you still don’t feel up for it you can always contact us for ideas, tips and a little help. http://www.absolutepainters.com/
Some Tips and Techniques for a Great Paint Job
Start Out Right. You’ll enjoy the job more if you get everything together at the start. Organize a tool station.
Plan a Day for Prep. Don’t try to get everything done in one day.
Clear the Decks. If you can, clear out all the furniture and accessories.
Remove All Hardware. It may seem easier to paint around door knobs or cabinet hinges, but unless you’re a professional, very experienced painter, you’re bound to get drips around.
Get Yourself Ready. No matter how hard you try, you’re bound to get drips (or more) of paint on whatever you’re wearing. (Dress down)
Don’t Paint Over Problem Walls. If your walls have holes or cracks, fix them before you start with the paint.

A vacation to a warm tropical location may not be in the cards for you this summer (though we could always hope so) but we can always warm things up the house with some cool décor, accessories and wall color.
One site suggests Summer Meadow Colors. “Lush grass, abundant sunlight, daffodils—the colors of summer are warm and welcoming. With their lively, joyous spectrum, they can instantly perk up the mood of any interior room. Consider these summer-inspired paint colors, and see how they’ll vitalize your interior decorating”*
Absolute Painters could always assist you on a summer project. Whether you are power washing your patio or deck as you prepare for summer BBQs or you want to splash some color inside without out any hassle. Perhaps they can do all the work while you kick back in a lawn chair sipping on ice cold lemonade, soaking up the summer sun.
