But in an effort to freshen up a house even more with paint and a paint brush, many people people are not quite sure where to begin. "There are many effective painting techniques and products that can be used to successfully revitalize a home and they don't necessarily necessarily require a lot of time or money," said Kevin Skclly of PARA Paints, a leading Canadian paint and coatings manufacturer.
