Paints, Painting

Happy Friday

I had previously posted on Cece Caldwell paint. I did speak with Donna, Doozie's Corner via email. What a great gal! Donna offered me many suggestions and helped me with my plight of choosing colors for my cabinets. She is a seller, rep of Cece Caldwell Clay Chalk Paint residing in Texas. All reps can be found by going to Cece Caldwell Paint website.

I went on a quest and did some research on my own and came up with so many new thoughts on how to recolor my cabs. Mixing things, using washes, paints, waxes that anyone can do without huge efforts. I have much to share, next post.
 
 I too have to paint rooms, walls, ceilings inside my abode. I wanted to share this with You, if your in need of assistance within your own remodel, or simply wanting to "freshen" a room with paint.

So many Paint brands out there. So many that offer a mission statement that we are " Green", sustainable, No VOCs or low VOCs. Gah it's all so confusing. I have tried many brand lines of paints in the last few years. They are all different and unique in their own way. It's mostly texture and consistency. One coat, vs two or more. Depending on what your trying to achieve as a end result. If anyone wants a new play "Paint" tool, go to Pratt and Lambert paint site.

They have totally changed their website. They now offer one of the most progressive Paint visualizers. You are the interior designer. They offer many photos to chose from. I do not believe you can upload your own photo as of yet. They allow you to change your flooring, tile back splash, counter tops in bathroom, kitchens. It is a bit tricky at first, but not difficult to get the hang of it. They allow you to paint the cabinets or wood furnishings in the photos' as well ~ Yay

In the photos they offer different types of cabinets, by theme I mean. Modern, Traditional, etc. Please play with all of them, even if this is not what you desire in theme. Each wood comes out different. The one kitchen offers a STAIN Effect - not painting the cabs per-say. You can see the wood grain, the color to be a vellum overlay. Like Stain, an overlay with the natural wood showing through. http://www.prattandlambert.com/ It is so worth the time spent. I love Pratt and Lambert paint, it is rich and no drips, full coverage, easy peasy and they have endless colors to choose from. The best though of Pratt and Lambert ~ NO awful odor.
