 This is worth it 100 times over. You can paint an entire house worth of windows for just over $100. While it can take a few weekends to tackle the whole house, the project itself is pretty darn simple.  a place you love to be.  

 We’ve really tried to make this as fool proof as possible. We also ask that you do not shy away from color. The white-washed room is very “in” right now, but that doesn’t mean that your accents can't add a pop of personality here and there. And if you love the color, don’t let the peer pressure shy you away from painting that whole wall blue. This is your space - make a place you love to be.  

 Painting trim is somewhere at the top of our list of the “tough stuff”...somewhere next to painting ceilings and refinishing steps.  It also hits the #1 spot for visual impact. Michelle painted her entire first floor worth of trim with just over two cans of paint. All-in the whole floor was about $250. This is a HUGE bang for your buck.   

 Alright team, let’s breakdown our #1 recommended project this season: PAINTING YOUR TRIM. If you are working with outdated wood trim, painting your trim is the single most impactful no-demo renovation you can make to the interior of your home. If that before/after picture above doesn’t convince you then we don’t know what will! 

 It is cold (at least it is in Pittsburgh), we are in the throws of a once-a-century pandemic, the holidays are now in our rearview, and the doldrums of winter are about to take over our psyche. Which is why now, yes RIGHT NOW, is the perfect time to tackle some of those home projects. So we at The Dropcloth are inviting you “Paint Away your Winter Blues”
