The author recounts their experience customizing their first solo apartment in Brooklyn by painting window frames in bright hues. After receiving the go-ahead from the leasing manager, the author decided to focus on window frames that had been neglected. Using affordable supplies and vibrant paint, the task provided an exciting way to infuse personality into the space. Emphasizing the ease and joy of DIY projects, this home improvement undertaking also involved strategic preparation to protect the surrounding areas during the process, showcasing how small changes can have a substantial impact.
I started with the single frame in my living room... I did grab a few towels and some bubble wrap I had lying around to keep any of the paint from getting on my couch.
After a little research on how to paint window frames, I knew I'd need three main things: paint, painters tape... and a 2-inch paintbrush.
I painted my window frames in fun, bright hues. It was my favorite project... I happened to like so much I did it three times.
I went to my local hardware store, and they mixed me a $5 pint of a mango color, Ultra Premium Interior Enamel Paint, Satin Latex.
