"Sometimes paint colors in rooms help everything else fall into place. For Alex Hinand (@the_bareback_contessa_), "I can be a bit impulsive in my own home," he says. "I'll see one paint color or inspiration image, and suddenly it's all I can think about. That's how I wound up with the pink and green combo in my living room. Alex painted his Chicago apartment living room - brick fireplace and all - pink with green trim, and he filled it with mostly secondhand finds."
""I have bought cheap rollers that shed like crazy and add, let's just say, unwanted texture to the walls. Spending a few extra dollars to make your life easier is so worth it," Alex says on Instagram. And having extra paint on hand "not only will ... ensure you finish your project, but you WILL need it for the inevitable touch-up," he adds."
A Chicago apartment living room with a brick fireplace was painted pink with green trim and furnished largely with secondhand finds. The color pairing created a warmer atmosphere and originated from an impulsive source of inspiration. Painting recommendations include choosing high-quality paint (Benjamin Moore cited), selecting good brushes for hand-painted areas, purchasing extra paint for finishing and touch-ups, and painting in daylight for consistent lighting. Cheap rollers can shed and create unwanted texture, so spending more on tools is advised. A striped threshold between the dining and living rooms was made using painter's tape and a small hand roller with New England Brown.
