satin question - Kelly Moore vs Benjamin Moore
Comments (2)There is no universal definition for sheens that all companies use, so it's unlikely the sheen will be the same. The real question is if you need a high sheen for the kitchen anyway. Old school thinking was that kitchens and baths always had to have a high sheen. With the advent of higher performance matte and eggshell finishes from many paint companies, this is no longer the case. I painted my kitchen and bathroom with Aura matte 4 years ago, both still look like the day I painted them in spite of heavy use for both. Never met anyone that wants their walls shiny - no need to go there unless you happen to be the exception to the rule....See Moresatin question - Kelly Moore vs Benjamin Moore
Comments (7)Thanks, paintergirl. Do you have eggshell on your ceiling or flat? That's my last decision. I have eggshell on the ceilings upstairs and like it. I really get to enjoy the Greenmount Silk color on the ceiling. But I am wondering about the downstairs ceilings...flat or eggshell. hmmmm I think they were pushing for satin on the kitchen walls because I said no to semi-gloss. I just told one of them I was going to do eggshell for the walls and he was fine....See MoreSherwin Williams vs Benjamin Moore Interior Paint
Comments (30)Concerning the Fine Paints of Europe. DO NOT USE !! My painter suggested this for its excellent results. Well, the paint completely failed. It cracked, peeled, faded in less than one year of use. The local paint store refunded me, and many other customers, the cost of the paint and plus additional amounts for labor. FWIW: the paint store closed down & filed for bankruptcy about 5 months ago....See MoreBenjamin Moore paints: Manchester Tan vs Adobe Beige vs Everlasting
Comments (8)Thanks, all! I will be using it to paint older oak kitchen cabinets and maybe the walls of my kitchen, for a monochromatic look (will keep the white trim). My kitchen is in desperate need of a freshening up and I have heard trying to renovate right now with all of the covid delays is a nightmare. Hoping a coat of paint will buy us a couple years. Didn't want white, just something a couple shades lighter (and less orangy) than the oak. I will post the after pics when its done. Lenox Tan - I saw online how popular it is, with designers as well. I understand its a great color, too, and a bit deeper/darker....See Morewishiwasinoz
