Paint
We are going to paint the inside of the downstairs of the house - at last! It has been over 12 years since the first very thin coat of white was put on when the house was built. Now that we know that white isn't needed for light, here in the dark woods, we are ready for some color. Benjamin Moore paint has a new one-coat paint - Aura - that we will use. We have finally decided on the colors. For the main rooms - the kitchen, dining room and hall - Harmony - a darkish beige. For the master bedroom and bath - Wind Chime - a Celadon green. We have tested three different greens and decided on this one. We tried two different colors for the other rooms, but the second was too yellow for my taste. Now, when the rooms are finished we'll see how well we did. If I could have mixed three or four different greens, I might be happier with the final color, but it was too much to worry about! We can certainly live the next 12 years with what we've picked!

I read your comment and Kay's on her blog, and came to find you! Les' mum! And you have a blog. Fantastic. And right off the bat you've written about something I'm interested in. I'm going to look into this Aura paint. I have used Benjamin Moore paints for ages, and been very happy with the colors. And the idea of one-coat paint since we have to do it ourselves is very exciting. Thank you. Do you have a digital camera? Will you post pictures of the finished rooms?
ReplyDeleteNan - I've followed your blog for a long time, and used many of your recipes!
ReplyDeleteAura paint is wonderful. It cost less for the paint job because we only needed the one coat. It dries very quickly. We are very pleased with it.
Thank you for your earlier comments too. I haven't 'visited'my blog for a while so didn't know anyone had commented. Now Les has told me how to fix my settings to let me know about comments!
