Normally, it would have been smarter to paint first and install the new carpet afterward. Be vigilant about drop cloths and always move slowly when near open and spillable paint cans or roller pans. Just slowing down generally is a good strategy for avoiding mistakes. Check your soles before walking from a drop-clothed space to one with exposed floor or carpet.

Thanks, Aimless. I meant, the seller installed the new carpet when they put it on the market.
We put down plastic all over yesterday.

I would recommend having easy to slip-on/off painter clothes and shoes that you leave in the painting area. That's how I did it last time. Oh and don't be like all limp-wristed just chillin forgetting your paintbrush or your roller is in your hand. Always know where that shit is and what it is or isn't touching.

two weeks pass...

Painting is done! Sometimes it is white, and sometimes rather pink. The carpet is pinkish beige so there is that.
Moving next weekend!
