New Homeowner
Hey everyone!
DH & I are closing on our first home 04/19 ... we have until the end of the month to get out of our apartment, so we're thinking of doing some painting before then and also putting down new floors in kitchen.
Couple of questions for you all, should we do floors then paint or vice versa?
Also, with the painting...we are going to do the walls like a grayish color, with a different color trim and then a cpl accent walls. Do you think we should have them come in and spray ceiling and walls with white primer, or should we have them spray the walls the grayish color?
ANY ADVISE IS APPRECIATED, THANK you!

I would DIY everything because pa
