[quote=Anonymous][quote=Montana][quote=Anonymous]I recently tried to paint our living room.  It wasn't hard except for the edges - I just couldn't get it to look good enough where the colored wall meets the white ceiling and where the wall meets the white molding.  It looks so amateurish.  Any tips?  [/quote]

Buy the green-colored Crocidile tape. It is expensive, about $12 a roll.  I painted 3 rooms w different colors, including white ceilings. All the hard work goes in putting the tape down. The painting is easy, and very cool when you remove it. [/quote]

Agree.  Tape it and it's easy enough.  I tried a couple different ways (using an edger) and always come back to tape.
And, I just want to add professional painters often do a really sloppy job.  Both of our past houses I have been horrible in some spots.  They don't take off hardware and just paint around, etc.  So go easy on yourself.  It is really easy to see the mistakes when you are inches away doing it yourself, but painters are never perfect either.  [/quote]
