You are teaching me so much! As an aside, I'm glad you choose the B. Moore abbreviation over others I've seen (and that I use!) and one day I'd love to choose Farrow and Ball, but to be quite honest, I have no idea where I'd even find a can of that stuff.<br /><br />CamilleThe Vintique Objecthttp://thevintiqueobject.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143723353477783124.post-39662153754151687592012-07-02T18:11:37.890-04:002012-07-02T18:11:37.890-04:00Couldn't agree more.

I was planning to do it, but apparently that scared him and he got busy with that right away. He's using Ben Moore. Paint is not ever the place to save money. In our experience you end up just having to buy twice the amount of the cheaper brands and it never looks as pretty.The Pink Pagodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07303563126610931697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143723353477783124.post-28376912651815848792012-07-02T10:06:20.305-04:002012-07-02T10:06:20.305-04:00LOL!

When I have to paint with others (i.e. - the hubs) my work tends to...suck. :)Elizabeth @ The Little Black Doorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06588741497473825934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143723353477783124.post-31214715872556423772012-07-02T09:58:06.400-04:002012-07-02T09:58:06.400-04:00We are getting ready to do lots of painting and th...We are getting ready to do lots of painting and this post has so many great reminders!!

It still took two coats to cover off-white. <br />I have been wondering about Benjamin Moore.

I am hiring someone to paint my ceiling (high gloss), but his price was so ridiculous for the walls. I will be rolling the walls, myself. Unlike you, I paint, but it is less than my favorite thing to do.

I was planning on having my entire house painted with Farrow & Ball (new construction), but when I saw what the increase in price would be, I stuck with my favorite Benjamin Moore paints!<br /><br />Another paint that designers around Atlanta are using is San Marco paint, which is mineral paint and has a beautiful, chalky appearance - I know some designers who swear by it!<br /><br />Have a happy 4th,<br />HollyThings That Inspirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405995431610377305noreply@blogger.com
