I used a glaze (1/3 H2O, 1/3 Waterbased Poly, 1/3 Paint) and color washed the glaze with a 3" brush on the walls, then modeled it with a damp t-shirt. The first color is Benjamin Moore "Fuchsia" and the second it Benjamin Moore "Stuart Gold". It took 7 hours.

Your taste is faboulous as always Synthia like your buddy Legs hug . It looks good. So, I am curious about the type of paint you used for this project. Was it from Lowes Or Sherwin Williams?

Thank you Legs!! hug The "Fuchsia" color is a Ben Moore color matched in Martin-Senour paint provided by the owner (her kitchen is painted that color but it's much, much darker when used as paint, I used it in a translucent glaze)- both are great paints, Ben Moore is better but much more expenise. The "Stuart Gold" is Ben Moore paint that I picked up at Ben Moore- I used it as the final coat, it's eggshell finish and has a beatuiful sheen. My personal favorite paint- great quality, good price- is the Behr product line at Home Depot. I love it and I've used just about every brand out there. If you ever have any questions about paint products, I'm your man. I used to work in a paint store, 2 actually, many many years ago- so I've sold it and I've used it.

Check out this other job of mine from March-April! http://www.prince.org/msg/100/141387

Cool thread.

I once got beer stains out of a couch with steel wool.

It's almost like we could have a show together.
