Paint brush or roller?

It is Kalu. Old wardrobes and half a kitchen came out on Sunday. I felt it was a bit like one of the old Barn Raising days in early America with friends and family mucking in, tools buzzing away, sharing trips to the tip and helping get lunch prepared.

I will be slow but sure with the painting with the occasional friend or family for company. I'm thinking lots of thank you summer parties will be in order.

Smooth application obviously?

I always prefer rollers of both sizes but especially small radiator rollers which I use for small flat surfaces which I find give a better smooth supplication with no brush strokes visible.

If however, you are doing walls, cutting in with a small brush is a closer finish than a small roller.

Good luck with your venture. It sounds exciting. ?

DH prefers roller, he does all the decorating.

I was surprised - although I don't know why I should be - that my daughter and I did not share the same preference.

Do you prefer one over the other? All painting tips welcome. I have a whole flat to get through - with help.
