“If you're going to live in the place for a while, then you paint it any color you want.” — Mike Martins

YouTubers, Mike Martins here! The move is getting closer, and now we're getting into one of the parts I've really been looking forward to — picking out the paint colors for the new house.

I'm here with my friend Dave, a professional painter with around 10 years of experience, going through the different colors we're planning to use throughout the house. We're looking at everything from the bedrooms and living areas to the playroom, gym, hallways, bathrooms, trim, and of course one of the most important rooms for me — the new studio.

And yes, we're going with GREEN SCREEN GREEN for the studio!

The house has a lot of space, including what I describe in the video as six and a half bathrooms, so there's going to be a lot of painting to get through. Some rooms are getting more personalized colors, while the main areas are going with lighter, more neutral shades that should work well with the natural light coming through the house.

Dave also gives some advice from a professional painter's perspective. If you're preparing a property for resale or rental, neutral colors generally make sense because they're easier to match with different furniture and décor. But if you're planning on actually living somewhere for a long time, why not make the house yours and choose the colors you actually want?

The previous paint downstairs is extremely dark, and with the amount of natural light and backyard space this house has, I think getting some brighter colors on those walls is going to completely transform the place.

I'll be doing a before walkthrough so you guys can see what everything looked like before the painting starts. Then we'll be able to compare it with the finished house.

The move is getting real now!
