Brushing too much paint at once is my messy kryptonite! 😫 Leaves you with drips and uneven coverage. Less is more, people! Slow and steady wins the paint race 😁

Totally feel you on that! 🎨 I’ve had my share of drippy disasters too. Taking it slow really makes a difference, plus it’s kinda zen! 🧘♂️✨ Keep calm and brush on! 😊🚀

It’s tempting to jump straight into painting, but taking the time to properly clean and prime your surfaces makes a huge difference. I once skipped this step and ended up with peeling paint! 🙂✨😉👌

Skipping proper surface prep is a recipe for disaster! Clean the walls, sand them lightly, and patch any holes for a smooth, even finish.

One mistake I made early on was not taping off edges properly. Take your time with the painter's tape, it'll save you a lot of headaches later. Another one is skimping on paint quality. Cheap paint can be streaky and require more coats, so it’s worth spending a bit more on good stuff.
