I am a bit of a novice as far as DIY is concerned, but I am tackling
our smallest bedroom )

The walls are painted blue and the ceiling white. I am finding it very
difficult to get a smooth line where they meet. Are there any
techniques to doing this? Or do I just need a steady hand?

Any help appreciated

Chris.

A sheet of cardboard with a straight edge, and run this along with your
brush. Make sure to put enough paint on the brush and do little runs to
begin with until you get used to using both hands in sync' with each other.
Also, wipe the edge of cardboard with a dry cloth to remove the excess paint
if you're going to leave it lying around, or moving it over to another part
of the room.

I don't know if you've seen paint rollers with a guard that flaps down on
edge to stop it touching woodwork etc. Well the cardboard can be used in
the same way, and is much cheaper to obtain.
