The first project were embarking upon is a makeover of one of the two bedrooms, the Orchardview Room.
Our mom painted the Orchardview Room about 10 years ago using a dark purplish-blue paint with a glossy finish.
She cant quite remember where the paint came from.
But she wasnt convinced (maybe it was oil-based?)
as shes been known to collect used paints from friends and buy them on clearance at the store.
With my four messy little munchkins, this seemed like the perfect primer for the job!
We applied one coat of the primer to cover the dark colors of the walls and trim.
After contemplating several shades of white (its a lot harder than it seems at first!)
we settled on a cool white, Melting Glacier with an eggshell finish inBeauti-Tones Natura interior paint line.
This NO VOC latex paint is endorsed as an environmentally conscious product.
We cant get over the transformation from just painting walls and trim in the room.
It looks so much brighter, larger and cleaner.
Do you have any tips for how to paint a room especially painting over oil-based paints with latex?
