Before paint:

After a coat of trim paint… Such a difference!

Really though, hall has two coats of trim paint so it’s go time tomorrow for the lower walls. We overpaint the trim onto the wall to fill any small gaps between wall and trim, and because we find it’s easier to cut-in to the door casing with the wall color than the other way around.

Are you a wall-then-trim or trim-then-wall type? Or do you just paint it all the same color and save yourself the decision? Reaaaaally want to try that one of these days!
