Hi! I’m Paige on behalf of Expert Village, and today we’re talking about preparing
to paint your walls and paint your ceilings and do some other fixer uppers around in this
back room that I’m redecorating as my office. As apart of painting, you want to make sure
that you remove everything from your walls. Face plates, screws, what have you. This is
just a simple flat head screwdriver, and I’m going to unscrew these screws. It’s a very,
very important to take out your face plates and not paint around them. You’ll end up
getting your face plates painted, they won’t look good. This will just provide a higher
quality for you. I went with a white face plate back in this room because my trim is
white. You can go with cream if you prefer cream. You can do silver or brass; it really
depends on the style you’re using in your house. Then I’m just going to put my screws
in the face plate so that I don’t lose them and set them to the side in the kitchen.
