I have a MacBook Pro and I was wondering if there is a program on the Mac like Windows ';paint';?
Not really, unless you use a more professional software like Illustrator or Freehand.

What color should I paint a smaller room with no windows?
I have a den that I use as a guest room. I have french vanilla and white bedroom furniture and would like to create a shabby-chic look. What color would look best on the walls? The rug is also an off-white and one entire wall is all closet.';What color should I paint a smaller room with no windows?
for smaller rooms you are supposed to use lighter colors to make it appear larger. definitely do not use whites or creams or dark colors. good luck and happy holidays (:What color should I paint a smaller room with no windows?
Choose one of these tones of white and stick to an all white room (the whites do not have to be the same...the trick to this would be textures. An all white room can be a fantastic look. To soften the box look (because there is no window, you can hang a curtain on the wall at the head of the bed as if there is a window (keep it floor length).
I would say maybe a beige or a light green (but not a minty green more like an olive). They're light colors which are necessary in small rooms and they are classic and match with anything. If you want you can make a faux window, they look really cool. You put up a shade and a curtain over it and shine a light through the back, with the shade pulled down the window looks real and pretty cool and its not that expensive to make!
Use light color paint, and get one of those mirrors that looks like a window with small panes. Some have a little ledge, that you could sit a small planter of silk flowers. Makes it look like there is a window, also makes the room look larger.
A small room needs to be either a light color or have a large wall mirror. I would go with yellow. Not to soft and not to much gold.
navy or a light purple.

I would like to paint my wood on my windows (grid). What steps do I need to take (type of paint, etc)?
I recently purchased new windows for my upstairs. I could not afford to replace all of the windows in the house at the same time. The grid work on the windows is the same pattern, but the colors do not match. The new windos have the grid inside the window and the downstairs is wood and outside of the window. I would like to paint the wood on the lower level to match the color on the upstairs windows until I can afford to replace the lower level windows. There is already paint on the lower level windows (wood). I understand about having to mask it off to protect the glass, but can I paint directly over the previous color or do I need to sand that off in order to apply the new color? Also, what type of paint do I need to use? There is a storm window over all of the windows. Thank you in advance for the help!I would like to paint my wood on my windows (grid). What steps do I need to take (type of paint, etc)?
First thing is to figure out the type pf existing paint, a very simple method is to get some methylated spirits on a rag wipe over the paint, if the paint softens then you have an acrylic( or water based coating ) if it doesn't soften then you have an enamel(or oil based coating).
Now that you know the type of coating the next step is preparation, First clean down to remove any dirt,dust mould etc, a general purpose household detergent should be good enough for this purpose.
next , depending on the condition of the existing coatin will determine how much work you have to do, if the paint is in a reasonable condition without to much flaking or peeling then you will just need to sand lightly with something like a 250gt sandpaper. If the existing coating has broken down and is flaking then you will have to remove as much of that flaking and loosed paint as possible, starting with an 80 or 100 grade sandpaper then moving on to a finer grade to feather and smooth any rough edges.
Next assuming the paint was in a reasonable condition and you have determined what type of paint it was you can just overcoat with the new color in the appropriate paint type, if it was oil based then use oil based again, if it was water based the use a water based enamel coating to ensure longevity and serviceability of your new paintwork.
If the old paint was in poor condition and you have areas of bare timber then you will have to prime these bare areas with a good quality timber primer, then undercoat the entire surface then topcoat.
Now some tips
!) Make sure you don't sand the glass when your sanding the paintwork, consider masking the glass before you sand or just be careful to keep the sandpaper away from the glass
2) Generally oil based enamels are still the best to use on exterior joinery although there are some very good water based paints available now that will work very well, consult your local paint shop.
3) Remember when using oil based paints that you will need white spirits to clean up, it will be a good idea to have some ready and a rag just in case you get some on the glass or whatever so that you can clean up as you go. If using acrylic or water based paints then a damp rag will do the trick.I would like to paint my wood on my windows (grid). What steps do I need to take (type of paint, etc)?
If the paint is intact ....just wash it off well and then re-paint. You'll want to ask for outdoor paint and high gloss enamel is the easiest to clean when it gets grimy. If the paint is not intact or if your home is old enough for the existing paint to be lead based oil paint then it will need to be rough sanded so that the new paint will adhere without blistering up. (if you decide to rough sand , make sure you wear a dust mask as lead paint and all dust are irritating at least and may be harmful to your lungs.

What color would you paint a dark hallway with no windows?
I have a rustic country theme in my house, my hallway is short and dark with no windows and joins my small living rm. I want it to look bigger both rooms will be the same color. white is out of the question. Suggestions please.What color would you paint a dark hallway with no windows?
use a tan or light brown mixed with a tad bit of yellow,and i know it sounds a little crazy but trust me i have it in my house
(which sounds a lot like yours)and it looks great!
Good luckWhat color would you paint a dark hallway with no windows?
I would suggest butter yellow or a very soft sage green.
Yellow- yellow leads the eye forward , hence making the person anticipate something is to come of a wall painted in yellwoe. In this case yellow will make the space look bigger, it will brighten it up and furthermore by having a yellow hall it makes the person think something like a window is about to appear, howver it does not. ;)
Yellow? Very pale lime green? Or again a very pale orange? A good tip is to hang a large mirror as this will also make the space look bigger.
I wouldhave said a light blue, like the sky. That alone seems expansive. But to be the same as the otehr rooms?
Maybe a light sea green.
Well then, the question should be what color should you paint your living room, and that depends on the furnishings. I used a Navajo White (on the beige side) to give my living room a larger appearance. The entry way I hung wainscotting on the lower 3ft. and painted it Pewter Brown, the top portion I painted Heron Plume (an off white). All of the paints were Sherman Williams. I have gotten more complements than I can count and they really do make the rooms look larger. Of course a large mirror over the sofa and one in the entry way also add to this illusion.
why not brighten it up with a bright wallpaper pattern
Use an off white or light tan/brown color.
i say a light yellow or orange
pale yellow
yellow is actually brighter than white and more pleasing to the eye. Even if you hate it once it's up, it's easy to repaint.
Lighter colors make the space look bigger, darker colors smaller. Lighting also makes it look bigger. I would suggest something the same shade as your living room, but just a little darker.
Have you thought about mirrors on one of the hall walls? Mirrors really open up a space.
yellow
I don't like white neither but I painted my apartment in cream, i love it

What color would you paint a basement that has no windows and a red brick fireplace?
The basement is an odd L shape and it's not very big because it's the bottom floor of a quad level house. The wall has a plaster faux finish on it already but it's stark white. The carpet is cranberry (bought the house that way) so we're change the carpet to an earth tone semi-shag.
I don't want it dark but I do want it to feel very warm and inviting. If you have a paint idea please give me a brand and name so I can check it out.
Thank you.What color would you paint a basement that has no windows and a red brick fireplace?
I think a nice soft yellow would be a really warm and inviting colour. You wouldn't want a BRIGHT yellow because yellow is considered a stimulating colour. If you choose something that has a bit of a pink undertone to it (not that you can see the pink, but it makes it buttery yellow) it calms the loudness of yellow to a warm tone! I have my hallways painted popcorn ball (Behr paint) and Cracked wheat (also Behr paint). My friend painted her basement with my leftover 'Cracked wheat' and she loves it (and she actually has a red-toned fireplace). Just be careful with the colour of yellow becuase of your reddish carpets - you don't want the area to look like an apple so a lighter shade of buttery yellow would be good (another good shade of yellow that I almost chose was vanilla delight or something like that...)
If you do decide on a green, especially a sage-y green, make sure that there is not too much grey in it. I painted our bedroom 'woodland mystery' (by CIL paints) which is pretty good - not too much grey. I had previously tried another tone that had way too much grey in it, and at least for the lighting that the room received, it look dull and depressing. I highly recommend getting a small can of any sage green and painting a wall (or part of a wall) to make sure it's not a depressing colour!
Hope that helps! Good luck with your painting!What color would you paint a basement that has no windows and a red brick fireplace?
play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find colors that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family %26amp; color name, the ';painted'; rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:
http://www.sherwin.com/visualizer/
I think ';emerging taupe'; (# 6045) might be a great choice.
You can take a photo of your house %26amp; upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:
http://www.roomvues.com/
You can get color suggestions %26amp; for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.
I would choose a soft warm sandy tone or light mocha (think coffee with cream). Experiment with this site and consider a shade like ';Bittersweet Stem';, ';Sands of Time'; or go with a light buttery shade like ';Lemon Chiffon';. I think it's always best to buy your furniture first then find the color that works with it best. Sometimes just an accent pillow , an accent rug or a piece of art can be the inspiration for the whole room.
Go to the paint store and get some paint chip samples. I would go with something in the gold tones to go with the new carpet. Use alot of accent lighting like a couple of floor lamps and table lamps or hanging lampsIf you have some prints going on the walls pick one of the shades out of them.
ok....
i would use a light sage green in sherwin-williams brand.
ok it is called rice paddy. it is very welcoming and refreshin and hard to dislike.
then to add a nice touch, i would paint 1 accent wall a dark sage color.
ok this color is called tupelo tree. it adds some more visual interest to the room......
hope this helps!
A color I have used for many years, in many different houses and always get tons of compliments on is Porter Paints Triest Gold, not 100% on the spelling...but any of the warm golds would look great and go with anything.
My bf has been a painter for 20 years and he only uses Sherwin Williams paint. He says it is the best. I would go with a sand color. A tad bit darker then tan. I think it'd look great with your fireplace.
you need it white to lighten it up you can warm it up with red bits and bobs to match the fireplace
egg shell satin white if theres trim go with a coffee semi gloss that will go good with the carpet too kelly moore has good paint that holds up well
egg shell white?interest
