Invaluable resource: Domino painting guide

If only every decorating decision were as easy to reverse as painting a wall. (Can you imagine? "I really regret purchasing this awful, uncomfortable couch. I know—let's paint over it!") And yet, the potential impact of a drastic (or even subtle) color change in a room can scare people away from the brush. Fortunately, dominomag.com just published a beautiful and comprehensive primer to all things painting—and not just walls. The guide covers choosing color palettes (for interiors and exteriors), an ever-useful tutorial on how to paint Ikea furniture, instructions for creating floor stencils, stair runners, and stripes, techniques for skim coating and liming walls, and tips for refinishing furniture. Plus, there's a really handy paint calculator that can help you avoid adding to your collection of half-empty latex cans in the garage. Head over to the Domino website for all the goods (and lots of pretty pictures).
