Answer Hi Claudia
I answered it on 3-20-09---here it is again:
Hi Claudia
I need more information: Your favorite brand of best-quality paint from this list (This is what I currently specify),
1. Benjamin Moore
2. Dunn Edwards
3. Pittsburgh Paints
4. Ici Dulux
5. Ellen Kennon Full-Spectrum
6. Portola Paints Lime Wash
7. Sherwin Williams
8. Pratt & Lambert
I also need to know what flooring you have, types of wood that furniture is made from, lighting other than chandelier, and any upholstered pieces you have.
Also: none of these manufacturers really make metallic paints that I can specify. However, you can get a metallic or pearlized look with a special-effects (aka “faux”) finish if you hire an artisan painter.
Get back to me with details and I’ll be glad to help.
Cheers,
reb
