And you're right, paint is not cheap (though cheaper than maybe other fixes).<br /><br />Heh, I've tried Valspar and personally did not like it. For the reasons you mentioned and it didn't cover well at all. But again, paint brands are like cilantro. ;)<br /><br />Martha still does sell paints, all types like interior, craft, etc. Wow, good to know! Was it an interior oil? I will file that tip away indeed.Flipping the Fliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15227745256321418042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977598181264970040.post-3755077863231405772016-03-02T10:40:01.149-06:002016-03-02T10:40:01.149-06:00You're welcome.

Another tidbit, Valspar is a really nice paint to work with. Cheap and cheerful as they say, but the colors don't have any depth. But sometimes, especially for whites, that might not be an issue. About 15 years ago I painted a table with Martha Stewart oil paint in white ( I don't know if she still sells this paint?) and the color never yellowed and it held on like a second skin even though I had the table outside sometimes. That was a great paint!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108873088311177166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977598181264970040.post-87392727567257152682016-03-02T08:19:06.215-06:002016-03-02T08:19:06.215-06:00Of course, any time.

Behr, for me, is really easy to work with and just the basic paint with primer covers in one coat, but I find paint is like cilantro for people -- love or hate a brand.<br /><br />I will most certainly note pudding paint as a major no and steer clear of paint that changes color for sure, wow. Thank you for the super helpful tips!Flipping the Fliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15227745256321418042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977598181264970040.post-54944349340932293182016-03-02T05:33:21.593-06:002016-03-02T05:33:21.593-06:00Thanks for telling me the color.

Yeah or nay? <br />There are two paints I hate: cashmere by Sherwin Williams- because It's like painting with dry pudding or foundation, and Advance by BM. The colors on advance change a lot over time and it's a little hard to work with and it doesn't adhere well to metal. I did paint a wooden swing with it and even though it was indoor paint it covered really well through the elements. The color changes about two shades darker though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108873088311177166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977598181264970040.post-41381896768173870962016-02-24T15:12:21.318-06:002016-02-24T15:12:21.318-06:00Thank you!

You're absolutely right, dark blue looks great with mid-century furniture!Flipping the Fliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15227745256321418042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977598181264970040.post-29755599330266410042016-02-24T14:38:47.665-06:002016-02-24T14:38:47.665-06:00I love that blue on the walls.

And it's funny too because I love all white interiors but somehow I fell in love with dark blue rooms. Go figure. <br />Also, dark blue looks delicious with wooden mid century modern furniture against it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108873088311177166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977598181264970040.post-29200114445239541792016-02-24T08:15:28.516-06:002016-02-24T08:15:28.516-06:00Great!
