So I really don't want to pay the astronomical prices I've been quoted to paint my house $3K+ and that's not including if I want different colors...sigh...

Anyhoo is anyone a novice who has painted successfully? I'm thinking I'll start with the powder room, it's small and if it looks crappy then I know I just need to suck it up and get professionals for the rest of the house....

Does anyone have any pics of paint projects you've done in your homes and were successful?? I'm guessing I can do room by room and hopefully be done by the end of summer....
