Paint brush or roller?

I painted the bathroom with a brush- The paint laid down flat so it isn't even noticeable - I did it as a challenge to see if I could get away with using less paint- And I did- Rollers absorb a lot of paint- It took forever and a day tho!

What makes the most difference, I think, is painter's tape- To get those crisp, clean edges- Especially in old homes that tend to be crooked in every way-

My late Dad was a painter and decorator all his life, and only ever used a brush (professionally as well as at home), and I do the same.

I am not a professional. I generally use a small roller ( not often a larget one except for ceilings) and I use a sponge pad point and paint to cut in. I do have a paint brush for odd occassions.

Frog tape is the best for edges. Sometimes a brush can be less messy and cover in fewer coats. I use a paint stick eztwist for ceilings - but it's quite heavy so maybe my days of ceiling painting are over?
