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?
