If it has never been opened, it should be ok. The only way it ages in a sealed can is by slow loss of solvent if the seal is not perfect and by settling. A good shaking at your local hardware store should mix it up well. Here's what to do. Prep your doors; Take one door off and lay it on your fixture for painting the first side. Shake the paint. Get a test scrap of wood. Open the can and test on the scrap piece. If it spreads ok and the color is right, start on the doors. If the paint is spoiled, get a new can of paint and continue.

Ah, I do have photos---was thinking I didn't but here is an old one! Not the greatest view, but gives you an idea. Textiles are old and no commitment whatsoever to them; toilet paper thingie has since been changed out for polished nickel, along with towel bars. We have a recessed medicine cabinet that we haven't put in yet but will do pre-painting. We plan to change the hardware on the drawers but not sure to what yet---got some black glass handles that fit (the kind that look like the vintage glass knobs) but husband wasn't sold on the overall look. May be able to revisit this with new paint, though I didn't invest much in them so if we come up with something better that's fine too. Also planning to take off the door on the bottom (with the holes---originally that hid plumbing but that's long gone) and put a curtain down there to store baby/kid bath items somewhere accessible. The whole space is pretty functional---just mismatched to itself and to the house. (Husband's dream involves taking out the tub and putting in a clawfoot tub, but that's pipe dreams---current tub and sink are fine and were new in '97.) Very open to blue---one of the early thoughts---but had trouble finding one that went well with the floor...and also about to paint our second bedroom blue (not a dealbreaker by any means since it would be the only other blue room, but trying to mix our colors somewhat across the house! The bedroom will probably be BM Bird's Egg.)

That's not quite as bad as I was imagining. You can buy wall texture in spray cans Lowes/HomeDepot....ie knockdown, orange peel. It's not perfect but with some practice on cardboard or wood scraps in your garage you could probably acceptably DIY it following some sanding, spackle. I did have a drywall/plaster company come over for a plaster repair under a window that had to be replaced, don't know that I would assume that expense for your wall.

Hi there! Our house is half siding and half brick. We know we want to paint the brick with Romabio to match the light gray siding. My question is: How do we color match siding? It's not new siding, so we can't take a sample into the paint store. What works best in your experience to get the best paint match?
