OMG!! I had no idea it's so much money. I've always done all of the painting on my own, other than when my dad hired painters to paint our new house when I was pregnant. I'm shocked it's that much money!
We've always done our own painting. We are cheapasses and we actually don't fight while paintjng. I tape everything off and paint near the edges with the brush then DH comes in with the roller to finish up.

Same here and after this thread I think we'll keep it that way! I also enjoy it. I actually find it kind of relaxing.
I was going to guess about $750 but that estimate does not shock me. Look on Angie's List for a deal. There are frequently coupons here for a whole day of painting or two people for so many hours that are closer to $500.

I just had my whole house painted last month. Only walls, no closets, no trim. 2200 sq ft was $1400 labor only. I spent another $450 on SW Duration at 40% off.
I would guess $500-600 for 2 rooms with trim and paint.
We had a 14x12 bedroom, en suite bathroom, downstairs bathroom, hall, and dining room painted, including some tricky patch work in the DR, for $800. It took 2 men 2 days, Benjamin Moore paint, HCOL area. They did a great job.
I have no idea if that was expensive or not - we hired them for a rush job before our open house so we had no options.
