粉刷房子—Painting the House

The interior of our house was last painted about 15 years ago, and the painting is now peeling and chipping in some places. Therefore, we decided 1 to give the house a new fresh coat of paint. We wanted to paint the house the same color, so we took a few paint chips to the store and asked them match the paint. We bought several cans of paint, paint rollers, a paint tray, a paint scrapper 2, and some tape. Once we got back home, we first scraped off any loose or peeling paint on the walls, taped the edges of the rooms and windowsills, and put down some floor covering to protect the carpet. After that was done, we mixed the paint really well with a stirring stick and poured some of it in the paint tray. We applied 3 one coat of paint evenly over the walls and then used small brushes to touch things up along the molding and baseboards in the rooms. After the paint was dry, we applied another coat of paint so the old paint wouldn't show through. Finally, we cleaned the brushes, rollers, paint tray, and put everything away in the garage. We have extra paint we can use to touch up the walls if they need to over time.
