While searching for homes in this area, we've noticed that all of the newer homes had white trim. The trim in this home is currently highly lacquered dark wood and since our intention is to update the home we intend on painting it all white. With the three upstairs bedrooms primed we're ready to start the trim!!In our last home we painted the walls with a satin paint but I still found it a bit tough to clean dirty finger marks off of the walls. This time around we are going for semi gloss to make cleaning up after three small kids easier! Since we chose a semi gloss paint for the walls, we went with a white enamel paint for the trim. We also researched painting trim and spoke to the paint specialist at the home improvement store which recommended Zinsser primer over other brands for better coverage.
Reno tip of the day: If you're painting your trim, sand and fill any nicks with wood putty and then paint one to two coats of primer and two to three coats of paint.
