In the summer of 2025 I hand-painted an entire house with rollers & smaller brushes. It was the largest DIY project I’ve ever taken on & I am really pleased with the results. My girlfriend at the time wanted to get her house repainted, she had shopped around for some quotes, but she had a very unique vision & color palette in mind. After a few trips to Home Depot & Lowe’s, she had selected several swatches that evoke a combination of Malibu Barbie Dream House meets Halloween town. Needless to say the end result is quite striking & although I had my doubts early on – I think it turned out fantastic & now love the bold color choices.
