So I've recently become obsessed with daydreaming about painting the walls of my room and re-doing all of the furniture. Somewhere between the daydreams, I'll only have enough money to do the first part. And "enough money" roughly equals $75.

I've never painted a wall before. The most of I"ve ever done was a couple of strokes with the roll-y thingy on some wood, and my friend took it away from me in 2.6 seconds because I was "doing it all wrong!" (I didn't know how badly you could go wrong...I mean, don't you just roll it back and forth? )

Getting back to the point, can anyone who has painted a room before tell me what to expect when go into Home Depot? What supplies am I going to have to buy? How long does it take for the paint to dry? And really important, will the $75 be enough to cover it? The room's not toooo big, just a regular ol' bedroom.

Aside from the technical paint stuff, does anyone have any color suggestions?

What theme are you doing your room?


Oh and i got paint rollers cause that makes the job so much easier And if you have some sort of trim in your room cover that with some painters tape.Cover your floors with either haefty bags or get the plastic stuff they have for when you paint your room.

As for the paint drying time.Its best if you paint when humidity is below 50 percent because humidity will make the paint take longer to dry.

Hmm, no real theme. I've bounced back and forth between so many ideas at this point I'm just really open to any suggestions.

At one point, my friend and I were going to the turn one wall in to something like this.
