<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;"><span>o<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">Load dampened brush by dipping 1/3 of its bristle into paint, lift in, and gently tap (not wipe) it against paint canâ€™s rim.</span></p>

Overlap areas that are still wet to prevent brush marks.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1in; text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">Note:</span></em></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;"> When painting windows, donâ€™t worry about getting paint on glass. Just let the paint dry enough to touch (not overnight), then cut dry paint with utility knife near window wood framework, and scrape it off with a painterâ€™s tool, razor blade, or putty knife. Peel quick-release tape as soon as painting is over, then wipe off smears that are still wet.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;"><span> </span></span></p>

Always let the water runs from handle to bristles not the other way around.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 1in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: &quot;Courier New&quot;;"><span>o<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">Use liquid soap to remove dark paint colors from brushes and rollers.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">â€œTodayâ€™s design trends are earth-friendly and lifestyles are becoming more environmentally minded. Natural products are being used as wall treatments, lighting fixtures, furniture and accessories. Sticking to basic design principles like choosing the right furniture sizes, smart storage solutions, lighting design that adds drama and complimenting colors can create an uncluttered and relaxing environment at the end of a busy dayâ€</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">In the same way that the colors of oneâ€™s wardrobe tell tales, the colors of every space in the home exude an impression. This creates the need to choose the right color that compliments the overall theme of the house.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">Here are list of some basic things to consider when it comes to choosing colors:</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-367" title="color-theme-of-the-house" src="http://www.homepractical.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/color-theme-of-the-house.jpg" alt="color-theme-of-the-house" width="300" height="300" /></span></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">Orange is warm and cozy, and stimulates creativity.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">Green goes well with any other color, can be invigorating as well as restful. It can be used as neutral color to balance a room.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">Red is passionate and intimate, while pink is lively and feminine. When used together, these colors can be great for a rich passionate lounge or a pastel bedroom.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">Yellow may be used with green, blue and orange. Yellow and blue when combined, can create an interior that looks fresh and upbeat.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">Violet is the color of royalties, but can also be sexy and stimulating.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">Blue creates a calm, meditative environment as it represents sky and water.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">Grey and neutral colors can be mixed with any color to create stunning interiors.</span></li>
</ul>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">A Good advice that will surely be helpful for many people who wants to decorate their home, <span> </span>Ehow.com demonstrate the proper c<span class="description">hoosing of wall color that depends on which room the color will be applied, like considering the amount of light in the room and taping up paint swatches to the wall to help with the decision.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="description"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="description"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">With these easy steps to follow </span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">it could help you choose the best wall color for your space.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="description"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Step <span class="number">1:</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Think about the purpose of the room you are decorating. For example, the kitchen, living room and dining room<span style="color: blue;"> </span>are social rooms that may do better with warm colors. The hallways, study and bedrooms are calmer and may do better with cool colors. Pay attention to the way you feel in the room now and how you would like to feel. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Step <span class="number">2:</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Choose a warm or cool palette, or choose a combination. Warm colors, consisting of yellows, oranges and reds, tend to stimulate your mind. Cool colors consist of blues, greens and purples, and tend to calm and relax your mind. Combining the two creates visual interest but may also cause an unsettling atmosphere. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Step <span class="number">3:</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Use your favorite color. Look at your clothes, paintings and existing furniture. Is there a color you just love? If you connect with a color, you may be more comfortable with it painted on the walls. Consider this logic when choosing colors seems overwhelming. Throw out any possibilities that you just do not like and focus on the ones that invoke memories or positive thoughts. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Step <span class="number">4:</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Look at a color wheel. Notice the families of colors and color schemes. A complimentary color scheme uses colors across from each other on the color wheel. This scheme is best for more formal areas such as the living room or dining room. An analogous color scheme uses colors next to each other on the color wheel. This scheme is best used in more informal rooms such as a family room, den or bedroom. You may want to think of this when decorating with existing furniture and accessories. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Step <span class="number">5:</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Choose a paint finishâ€”matte or glossy. A glossy finish gives more drama and also reflects more light, making a room feel brighter. A matte or flat finish will reflect less light, cutting back on glare and drama. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Step <span class="number">6:</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Ask for advice. If you are still clueless or maybe just need an extra push in the right direction, ask the assistant at a paint store or an interior designer for an opinion. Hardware stores often carry magazines and color books showing real rooms painted with specific paint colors to show you how it might actually look in your space. This will give you great ideas and hopefully that extra confidence to go for it. </span></p>
