The kind of sprayer that would give a professional finish would be quite expensive. Don't even consider the Wagner units - they are worthless. I think you would be satisfied with using a very high quality paint and top of the line brushes and rollers. I'd suggest talking to your local paint dealer personel at a Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Wiliams store. They can lead you in the right direction. Good Luck with your project!

That sounds nice, but there is a problem. There is a foot long section that connects the downstairs to the upstairs. It has a crack in it, and very similar but different paint between the two levels. I attempted to repair the crack, but obviously it didn't work. Downstairs is Ralph Lauren Suede for $40.00 a gallon. And a TON of X's. Upstairs the ceiling is very high, and I did not want to attemp the X's all the way up. I also don't know how I would have even gotten up there. So, I color matched the paint for a flat that looked close. I tried to overlap the two, not sure that turned out too well. So, I don't know how to do one without the other. Here are some more pictures.... Another question, I intend on putting crown molding on the downstairs portion. How do I stop at the foot long divider? And above the door in the first picture the wall is beveled. How do I put crown on that?? THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP :)

No I did not remove the tile except around the sink to remove the old sink. I built forms from wood but the wood on the front was removed after the concrete set for a couple hours and the wood underneath removed the next day. Here is a photo of the concrete in the pass through window after I removed the front mold part. I left the wood underneath to support the overhang until the concrete reached near full strength the next day. You can see some leakage on the right I had to chisel away later. If you do this, I highly recommend caulking all the molds - I only did some areas because I thought I had screwed the soft wood tight enough but I was wrong, the resulting leaks caused all my problem areas. I should have caulked all the seams on the wood molds and I would not have had the problem. The counters still look great after months of use, BTW! here are some pics of the molds: Big mess caused by leak- made painting the cabinets later a lot more work to sand off all that gunk. The leaks also created air gaps in the mold area I couldn't see until the concrete was set, I later had to hand trowel a thick mixture on those areas to repair it. It will never look as smooth as the mold-formed areas. My plan for next spring is to tile the backsplash if budget allows - the beadboard wallpaper is serving its purpose for now but tile will look nicer.

On the open areas I'd use one color. But it looks like you have multiple stopping points. The bumped out area with the raised plywood floor could be a complementary shade. The setback with the double set of french doors to the outside. The stairwell wall. Personally, I'd start by painting it all one color. Then as you live in it, add some more colors. That worked for me at least! Good luck!
