If you've run into problems painting your cottage, there's a chance you made one of these mistakes. 

Bumpy paint means you probably didn't wait long enough for the previous coat to dry and if you see little craters slow down.

The box keeps things together, minimizing your chances of knocking over a can of high-gloss eggplant paint."
