How long do you need to wait after priming before you actually paint? The primer can says "walls will be touchable after 5 minutes, dry after 10 minutes, and ready for next coat after 30 minutes". Is the next coat meaning paint, or primer? The paint can itself doesn't say how long to wait after primer, just at least 4 hours in between coats of paint.

If it says 30 minutes, then paint your next coat of primer (if needed) or your main paint, which ever you are planning on doing next.

Question: We need to have the house painted this summer and we need the gutters re-done. Which should we have done first? I'm thinking paint, but who knows??

Paint first! From experience, paint first, that way you don't have to worry about getting paint on the gutters.

Need some opinions. I'm getting ready to paint the kitchen. There is no trim of any kind between the kitchen and living room. There's about a six inch wall in the doorway. The previous owners painted it the kitchen color. I'm wondering if it would look better the living room color. Kitchen is going to be a medium blue gray color. Living room is a burgundy red, and will probably stay that color or as close as we can get [at least that's our feeling THIS week *L*]. Any ideas?

This is the view from the living room to the kitchen.
We of course will try to do a better job and even lines, no matter which color we decide to use. We think the tan paint job was a quickie after they finally moved out.

Serate, I thought that I had seen on HGTV one of the shows, that you should paint that small amount the color of the room that goes into it. In other words the paint from the preceding room continues in and ends at the room joint. Hope that helps.

Serate, I have an archway like that that goes into a hall. When I painted the living/dining room (which is pretty much the same as color as yours!) I painted the underside of the archway the same as the living/dining room. I left it the same color as the hall until everything else was all done and it just doesn't look right, but it does now.

Guess it would depend on which color looks best from either room as you are approaching the doorway. Possibly the burgandy would look best from both directions. Or you could add trim around one side of the doorway.

Were does the tile stop in the kitchen? Does it go up to the archway, into the archway or do you have the same tile in the living room? If it doesn't, then I would use where the tile ends as a guideline.

Tile in kitchen and dining room, cheap, hopefully soon to be replaced, laminate flooring in living room & hall. Tile goes maybe an inch into arch/doorway, 2 inch wood strip, then laminate flooring. Thanks for the advice/info. I think I'll go living room color into the arch/doorway. I think it would look better from the living room and either way would look ok from the kitchen.

Another question. I'm sorry I didn't combine it with yesterday's question but it never even occurred to me until I read an email from my aunt. In the doorway between the kitchen and dining room the trim was painted the color of the kitchen/dining room. I never even gave it a thought and was planning on painting the trim white. My aunt asked if I was going to paint it the room color so it just flowed like the two rooms were as one. Opinions?
What it looked like when we bought the house.
What it looks like with the dining room painted. Kitchen will be the same color. The trim has not been painted white yet, it's just the lighting. Thanks!

The trim looks good white. I have painted trim too, because it was already painted when we bought our house, but I've never painted the trim the same color as the room. Usually you use white or another shade of the color used to paint the wall.
