How to paint my apartment
How I did it: The hardest was picking out the color. I decided on a deep red (has a touch of rust color in certain light.) I was told deep colors are the hardest to cover so decided to give my landlord a break since he was kind enough to allow me to even paint. I was scared of the cutting in as I hadn`t done that part before but had helped in painting before and used low tack tape to protect the ceilings. The job turned out very good and it gave me a huge sence of pride to know I did it all by myself :). LOOKS GREAT!!
Lessons & tips: Use grey tinted primer or use cheap semi flat white paint tinted grey to save on coats of paint when using dark colors. mine only took 2 coats of main color paint after primer.
Resources: Home hardware was so good at offering assistance and advice!!
