This wall repaint happened in a small apartment in **Chicago, Illinois**. The goal wasn’t perfection, just to cover up years of scuffs and marks. **Before photo – stained and uneven wall**. ![1000024930](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/1/1a1907426a1fd3d85b6f52cce8727c15c9d2cf79.jpeg) We didn’t strip the wall completely. A quick sanding was done, but some dents were left in place because this was a weekend project, not a full remodel. **Midway through painting**. ![1000024933](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/e/e0eac0a5e72217507955959b3ef54af72a6ac888.webp) After two coats, the wall looked much cleaner. You can still spot a few uneven edges if you look closely, but overall the room feels fresher and brighter. **After photo – finished wall**. ![1000024934](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/2/2500b967b575151b033977753103aca94364a4d8.jpeg) 🛠 **Lesson Learned** Prep matters, but even an imperfect paint job can dramatically improve a space. ---
