HR…just don’t use HD Behr brand or whatever Lowe’s own brand is…they are really crap coverage…Get Sherwin Williams, Benj Moore or another professional brand.

My rooms are all white w/ a nicotine overlay giving them a warm, rich patina.
LOL! im a notorious scrubber of everything inside apartments with smokers. i try to do it when my roommate isnt around so he doesnt think im a freak! but you non smokers would be SHOCKED (well maybe you wouldnt be shocked) just how much yellowish tar accumulates on EVERYTHING!
Anyone else a fan of audiobooks? You can get a lot of the classics for free at Librivox.org. The books are not read by professional readers and sometimes the sound is a bit off, but hey, it’s free!
i recently painted my bedroom a pale green and brown but unfortunately it only looks good in daylight. at night the brown wall looks reddish and the green walls look, i dont even know. but i use pink lightbulbs at night so that’s def. why. with regular candescent light it looks okay and truer to the colors, but not as good in regular daylight. i totally picked the wrong shades for the colors i wanted tho.
Painting is addictive. A few years ago I decided (like a damned fool) that I wanted a very soft, pale pink in my bedroom with a chocolate brown accent wall. The chocolate looks nice. The pink looks like freakin’ bubble gum 🙁 And, my dad did a horrible paint job to boot! Sigh.
joe, snappy- not if they smell money. May take a big grass roots ampaign. I can’t wait for the primary- there’s a real chance we can get Al Vann out this time.

ROFL Arkady!!! I get that nicotine patina as well. But, it’s time again for wall washing so it will soon be gone.
