What People Are Saying

Subject: Our Family's Weekend Project Success!

From: Jane L. jane89.fam@aol.com

To: HousekeepingBay

Hi there,Just wanted to share a quick thanks for your DIY paint guide. I took on our guest room as my first-ever painting project, and your guide made it all less intimidating. I figured out how to do a proper edge (no more blue tape!) and picked a color that even my picky teen loves.

I was pretty proud to tally up the costs and see that we came out way ahead compared to the quotes we got. Plus, the room looks great – it’s my new favorite spot in the house.

Appreciate the help,
Jane

P.S. We used the extra cash to get a new rug that my daughter’s been eyeing for weeks. Win-win!

Hi there,
Thought you’d enjoy knowing that thanks to your guide, I turned a bland bedroom into a serene retreat. And I did it on a shoestring budget! My husband was skeptical at first, but now he’s totally on board. He’s even picked out the next project!

Cheers

Subject: My Personal Journey of DIY House Painting

From: basher.irwin@hotmail.com

To: HousekeepingBay

I wasn’t sure how to kick off painting the outside of the house, like what paint to pick. As I moved along, new questions and curveballs came up. I didn’t know what stuff to use or what steps to take next. Since my budget was kinda tight, I decided to take on the job myself. This book turned into my trusty sidekick throughout the whole house painting journey.

Hey!

I just had to tell you about my experience with HH.

Honestly, this book was a huge help for my latest DIY project at home. Flying solo on this one, I found the book super useful when I got to the wall painting part. It had easy-to-follow instructions, handy tips, and tons of creative ideas, which helped me jazz up my space without breaking a sweat.

Kudos to the people who put this guide together. I just wanted to say thanks because it really made a big difference in my project.

Best,

Maria
