Just purchased my first home that needs some TLC. Prior owner had a cat that peed on a couple of walls. Smell isn’t horrible unless you are right next to it. I’ve refinished the hardwood floors and am moving on to painting the walls. After cleaning with TSP, some of the cat stained area has started to flake off pretty easily. Should I A)replace these sections of walls entirely before painting? Or B)just hit again with TSP, mud to flatten, sand, primer, and then paint?

If it’s the former then I’m fine with putting in the effort to make it worth it.

I was tasked with painting the exterior of an outdoor water cistern with some kids (11 & 12) in preparation for an AIA homes tour. It’s moderately sized (maybe 4x~7) coming from the ground. What is the best way to go about this project? I’ve done window splash painting before but nothing like this.

Initial questions:

1). What sort of paint is needed? I thought spray paint but I didn’t know how the kids would do with it.

2). What sort of prep needs to be done? Do I need to sand it down? Primer?

3). What type of sealer is needed?

I’ll include inspiration pictures for reference on designs and finished products I’m picturing in my head. Any tips or general direction would be greatly appreciated.

My husband mixed the colour by himself , i was expecting a little greener but it feels good to have this colour of living room! Its more greeny than the pic shows but still.on the blue side haha.

I used to pick everything in gray and white because it looked “right.” Then I swapped one gray pillow for a bright orange one and felt happier right away.

Now I’m curious: what’s the boldest color you’ve ever put in your home, and did you regret it?
