Matching Existing Sheen - Help
Comments (4)Just to be clear in the pictures which area was recently finished the shinnier part or the duller? Either way your flooring guy missed it big time. If your orginal floor was the shinnier portion then he probably should have gone with a semi gloss. If the orignal was the duller portion in the picture then he didnt put down satin. Sometimes when you are tryin to match a sheen level on patch work and the orher portion of the floor is old satin a trick is to use semi gloss or even half semi half satin. As with time satin gets a little shine to it. But regardless your flooring guy needs to come back out and either attempt it again. OR Have him do a buff and coat over the entire floor and then you dont have to worry about a mismatched sheen....See MoreWhat Sheen for Cabinet Trim?

Comments (2)We went with flat on the walls throughout the house for the first time ever. We like it! We used semi-gloss for the trim. We still have eggshell in the bathrooms as they were painted several years ago. Looking at the eggshell compared to the flat, I do notice imperfections more with the eggshell, which was the point of moving to flat. We don't, however, have painted walls in the kitchen anywhere where they are likely to be splashed and in need of washing. If we still had a painted backsplash, I think I'd use semi-gloss....See MoreKitchen Cabinet Color - should it match w/the Trim of the house
Comments (2)Absolutely not. You can do whatever you want. The only suggestion would be to match the style of the house. I.e. A super modern white kitchen in a homey cottage would be a bit jarring or if the rest of the house is oak and traditional....See MoreJodi
