uh,I get bored real quick too, im used to painting every 6 months or so, only since ive been married have i not done that. SOOO if you plan on changing colors cause you think you will get bored of it, make sure its not to dark of a color cause it will take more paint to cover it, just fyi cause its also more time consuming to cover dark colors, or tectured paints. like the sued finish by ralh lauren, I absolutly LOVE IT, i have it in my hallways, but i know when i move out i will hate repainting it cause it is textured.

my dads a painter so I actually have alot of experience with color and all that jazz. plus i painted my room over ALOT.

so I can help out some what, if youd like.

select a good primer. you can cut down more than 1/2 the time on how long it takes to paint dark over white or vice versa.

if you're painting a dark color over white, primer will also help smooth it out so you don't see so much imperfection
