I did paint the bathrooms and the laundry room with eggshell paint and they came out pretty good. However I would rather not paint the carpeted bedrooms as I’m not the neatest painter. Also rather not paint the high walls in the living room after a ladder accident up north five years ago broke my wrist in two places. I also find it difficult to get a nice clean cut where the walls meet the ceiling.
