It'll really reduce the amount of time it takes . . . and there are so many other wonderful things you could be doing with your time . . . playing with kids, organizing, finishing projects, etc.Miss Tamrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03038332683682651806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557046962512037085.post-31370221447755913352009-10-21T13:53:30.232-07:002009-10-21T13:53:30.232-07:00Thanks for stopping by my blog! As for painting - ...Thanks for stopping by my blog! As for painting - I would hire painters. I did the room you saw myself because I had several weeks before our stuff arrived BUT the hallways up and down and the stairs I hired a painter. All the hassle of taping off, keeping the stairs clean and reaching the hard to reach places wasn't my cup of tea. It needs to be sweet and simple for me to do it. I always forget how much is involved. For your peace and mind - hire someone!<br />Good luck!Barbara Matsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01687912436864826801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557046962512037085.post-18597347519152718592009-10-16T12:32:48.149-07:002009-10-16T12:32:48.149-07:00i say let the painters do the work. you will most...i say let the painters do the work. you will mostly likely get a better job done from them. they will paint the colors you want and then in 5 years you won't be looking at the walls wishing you and david had time to paint the house. the kids will be thankful you are spending more time with them then trying to keep them out of the paint and not touching the walls. plus you have a ton of other projects to finish up and will be happier if you complete those knowing the painters won't do your curtains like you do!Life with the Warrenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07541868995431713686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7557046962512037085.post-22170089511934030592009-10-13T13:15:02.754-07:002009-10-13T13:15:02.754-07:00That is hard!

We decided to hire someone to come and paint our kitchen, living room and hallways (we were not looking forward to doing all that taping and painting the vaulted ceilings). We have also painted a few of the bedrooms ourselves. I would suggest keeping the room or rooms that you are most looking forward to painting for yourself and then hire out the rest.<br /><br />It seems like the most time consuming part of painting was masking everything off. We recently discovered the green "frog" tape at Home Depot and were really pleased with the results.

Bathrooms, Kitchens and Halls meet those requirements in my opinion. Hope that helps!
