Rules of Thumb

You may have seen the insert in House Beautiful a few months ago, entitled “Decorate By Numbers!”  It was choc’ full of design tips from the top designers, numbered 1 through 10;  perforated for the readers’ safe-keeping.  A girlfriend and I were commissioned recently to redo a space, on a limited budget (which is a generous description).  We were enthused and headed straight to the paint aisle.  But, then, we were soon aware of our inherent ignorance: Just how much paint does one need, for any given project?  Well, now, she and I both have an answer (if walls, of course, are the subject of the inquiry). 

3. One gallon of paint will cover about 400 square feet of wall. – Alexa Hampton

In honor of such gallons of paint, I found us a room to enjoy—at its sight, I feel at home.  Cheers to a great weekend.  (Go Gators!  Beat them Vols!)
