merryman 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2009 paint also don come cheap,maybe u can do some calculation before deciding..to see if its worth the hussle. There is one ICI package from home-fix shop,for 3 room i think its around $900 for the whole house. I saw that your kitchen flooring is mosiac...U can have a retro theme for your kitchen,by doing acid wash on the mosiac, it might looks good again,$ave Money acid wash? wifey finds it a trouble to clean the gaps between the tiles... say a lot of dirt will get stuck... so, might get kitchen tiles afterall... yea, checked the cost of painting before, it's around 900-1100 for different companies... may have to calculate how much is saved and whether it is wrth it...
