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?

^ That would be really cool if you could do that! But honestly, I don't think the 75 bucks would cover it. But I'm not sure how much the prices are. Okay, I've painted my sister's room before and here's what we needed:

-Blue tape (To prevent the paint on going on certain spots on the wall, if you want that.)
-Plastic covering (So the paint doesn't get on the floor.)
-Roller brush (The easier and faster way to get your paint across.)
-Paint brush (For the hard to reach areas.)
-Trays (To hold the paint in.)
-Paint buckets (To paint.)

I think thats about it, I'm not sure how much that all adds upto. When I check I'll edit this post. Hope I could help.
