It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint or a new colour can do for a room. As for all those quirky angles you have in your home, I'm jealous! I really like looking through interior decorating magazines but I can't help but notice that the rooms in there are hardly ever square boxes like the rooms in my home. I always think to myself, "Yeah right, who has rooms with alcoves, indentations and strange angles like that?" Obviously, you do! Lucky you!

I found that the pads on handles you can get were very helpful for cutting in and particularly trim - it is easier to get a straight edge and quicker too. There are various shapes and sizes - I found it worth experimenting, but I used a small pad with a handle for the trim, and a larger one (maybe 15cm square) for the cutting in. It had little wheels for stopping it touching the edge, but I didn't use those. With that tool I did the cutting and rollering in one go, otherwise you end up with a line. So I would cut in with the pad and straight away roller. We have one room left, as we stored all the funiture in the lounge room while we did everywhere else, and then had all the floors redone, and I can't get up the enthusiasm to get that done. I really should though. Have fun Hi Heather
