You could start with the living room and draw a straight line where the hall starts so it'll look neat. Then do the hall the next weekend or something. I think the kitchen would require more taping. Maybe if you left the kitchen white and painted the cabinets a different color?
I'd rather hire someone to do the outside....hobbitses don't like being on ladders.
I know one thing, I want to change the doors on my cabinets. The ones there are flimsy and some are a bit warped! The cabinets themselves are fine, solid wood cabinets, not particle board...
Maybe paint the cabinets a brownish "wood" color and then put varnished wood doors on them?
I dunno...I'm clueless.
