Mastr Bathroom Paint - Concur or Suggestions Please
Comments (6)lukkiirish - Your offer is very nice and certainly a visual would help. I'm attaching the only other two photos I have of the room and presently it is in a state of de-construction so taking a fresh one isn't an option. I've been considering your advise on the ceiling and may just go with white there as I sort of have my heart set on the brown and blue for the other walls. Besides, they're more easily repainted should I be disappointed! This vanity is going to be replaced. Planning for a beveled glass mirror beginning above the outlets and "floating" on the wall. A medicine cabinet will remain where one is seen (but perhaps with a door matching the cabinets, no mirror) but the Linen Closet beyond will contain a cabinet, matching the vanity, going almost to the plant shelf. Going to be late summer getting these as our cabinet maker is booked until then (lucky him). The shower will become frameless glass but the footprint does not change. Our flag is hung, almost summer weather here in northern IL. Unusually warm and I'm using the patio this evening - unheard of for March! Thanks for your encouragement....See MorePainting kitchen cabinets - need soft white color suggestion please!
Comments (52)Thank you, lam and peppy doodle! I have to admit I was a little bit in shock when they first took down the tape because it looked so different, but now I'm loving the change! I'm glad I'm not regretting it. I keep sneaking back into the kitchen to look at it. Seems so much brighter and lighter than before, but still warm enough with the creamy white. I can't wait to see it with the doors back on and new hardware installed. Snookums - thanks for the tip. I'm trying to keep everyone out of the kitchen and the painters are very careful, but good to know. I'd hate to have a can of paint spill all over my slate floor!...See MoreWhite Paint Color for Cabinet and Trim Suggestions Please
Comments (1)Fun-C is the Goddess of LRV's here! But.....most of the time, with WHITES, the LRV, imo..... won't change or help much. Your lighting color-temperature, & the amount of outside light & its direction, have by far the most influence on perceived color!! Since this is for cabs & trim, I'd highly recommend a special class of paints for "Cabinets & Trim"! There are a few good brands. Faron...See MorePlease help! Need CURRENT cabinet paint suggestions
Comments (19)Yes, the cure time was kind of long with the BM advance too. It takes like a month to really harden. In fact, my hubby had to re-paint two of the grey drawers on my island next to my stools. I had used some leather cleaner and conditioner on the stools and, like a dummy, didn't pay attention to overspray. Of course, to my horror I saw all these weird looking drops all over two of the drawers. What did I do? My next mistake was grabbing a dry microfiber cloth to wipe up the spray (after I tried wiping it with a damp paper towel and the spots didn't go away). To my immediate relief, the spots went away... but then I realized I had actual scratches in the paint!!! It had only cured for about two weeks by this time. Fortunately, hubby was still in the process of painting other parts of the kitchen and he had some of the grey paint left over... so I had to lightly sand it down (just a scratch coat) and he was able to put another layer of paint on the fronts of the two drawers. That time I made SURE to let it cure for a month! LOL! The picture above that shows those drawers on my island were taken after that repair was made. ;)...See Moreloobab
