Play Room Task 2 – Skirting & Door Frame

Task 2 was to paint the skirting and around the door frame.  I used a small bush (1/2”) to do next to an edge and then a larger one (2”) to do the main part of the skirting.

MY TIP would be to use the ‘quick dry’ gloss as you can wash your brushes out with water.  Check the side of the can to see if you can use water to clean brushes.  This is so much easier than using white spirit or turps which is incredibly messy.  If I can’t get this type of paint I just buy cheap brushes and throw them away afterwards.  Obviously this second method is not good for the environment, although IKEA do some good brushes made of natural materials.
