Painting my room with friend?

Question

Hi,

Im thinking of painting my room with my best friend and was wondering a couple things

1: how long will the smell last?

2:are the colors light blue and light green good colors for a small room?

3: how should i paint it? like light green on all walls but 1 and vice versa. or paint all the walls light green with 2 stripes of light blue and vice versa. how will i be able to do the last line?

4: how do i convince my parents to let us do this? i already know that we wont move out of this house i just want a cool hangout

thanks

Answer 1

I like the idea of light blue on the top and light green on the bottom. Like half and half. But make sure they're very light for a small room or they will make the room look smaller and you might get tired of them. I don't like the stripes idea but if you like it you would need masking tape to get the stripes straight. I don't think you should have to convince them as long as you let them know that you won't be asking them for any help. It's not hard to paint a room, I did mine myself (with a few friends) and you just move everything to the centre of the room and put plastic or newspaper on the floor. As long as they don't have to help or pay for the paint I'm sure they'll be fine with it. =]
