I feel your pain. We had a Trained Professional do our hallway walls and woodwork but we did the floors and stairs ourselves, oucha oucha poor knees. And we too have a set of special painting clothes, including socks. A good thing it is, too.

Any tips on painting floors? Never done that.

I put that off until after the New Year because... well, I had to call a halt and regain some normalcy, and Other Things Needed Doing, like Christmas. Not looking forward to moving All The Things again, but I figured I could do half the floor at a time... carefully.

We masked the baseboards, did the edges with a brush,and did the centers with the rollers. If I had it to do over again, I'd have put on a coat of primer -- the paint is chipping mighty easily, especially on the stair risers.
