1. Move the furniture right out of the room (if
possible), so that you will have space to work.
If this is not possible, move to the center of
the room and cover it with tarps. 2. Make sure
you cover the ground with tarps as well. You can
purchase professional canvas type sheeting at
your building supply store, however, old sheets
or over-lined blankets will also work well, and
even things like old rubber-lined curtains will
do a great job. Try to avoid putting those thin
plastic sheets on the floor. They are slippery to
walk on, and because they are so light, they
rarely stay where you put them.

3. Remove or tape all light fixtures and switch
and outlet plates. Must read Interior Painting
Tips The 7 Rules to Follow 4. Patch small
cracks and nail holes with spackle or joint
compound, using a putty knife to push the
compound into the hole or crack, and spread it
smoothly on the wall. After the compound dries,
sand the patch gently. It is also a good idea to
give the entire wall a light sanding as well.
This provides a rough surface for the new paint
to grab (painters call it a "dent").

5. Wash the walls with Tri-Sodium Phosphate (TSP)
and water to clean them and remove any dust
remaining on the sanding walls. Give the walls a
quick rinse with clean water, and when it dries,
you're almost ready to paint. 6. Start painting
with the ceiling. You can now get special ceiling
paints that go by looking color so you can see
where you painted but dry white.

7. Once the ceiling is done, move on to the
darker colors on the walls, followed by the
lighter colors. Cut or paint around the edges of
the walls and trim with your scarf/trimmer brush,
make one wall at a time, and then finish
the Interior painting with the roller.
