We are getting ready to paint the bedroom and there are a few places that need to be patched up. One was when I moved a table and hit the corner of it into the wall. There's a place shaped like the corner of the table. There are several others but is patching an easy thing?

Patching drywall is not hard. You'll need drywall compound, a metal straightedge and sand paper for smaller repairs, though there are additional tools and materials you would need for bigger repairs. Basically, you fill the dent with the drywall compound and let it mound just a bit above the surrounding area. When it's dry, sand it even with the surrounding area and paint it. You can probably match the paint by taking a sample to a place that sells paint if the paint isn't too old.
