Re: Non plagio - living room paint?

[Guest guest]

First of all Debbie, don't be so hard on yourself! You're not an interior

decorator, how should you know? I think usually semi-gloss is used in

bathrooms and kitchens, high traffic areas, and on trim. What color is the

living room? I think generally you are " supposed " to go with a flat or

satin paint on most walls. But maybe once you have pictures up and stuff

the walls won't look so shiny. Sorry I'm not more help. Amy in Kansas City

I'm absolutely totally disgusted w/myself right now! My husband

drywalled our living room & we just painted it Saturday. He wanted

to go w/ " satin " paint. I said, " no, no " lets go with " semi-gloss " . I

don't like flat paint at all, esp. with a toddler. Now the room

shines like I've never seen & the paint seems to look uneven! Is

this a big no no to put semi gloss paint in a living room??????? My

sister (whose house is decorated w/Ethan furniture) says it's a

big interior designer NO. That it looks aweful, blah blah blah.

Thanks a lot sister!!! My house is decorated with hand me down ugly

furniture, etc......I obviously am clueless when it comes to

decorating! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! Heaven forbid I tell my dear husband

his walls look like crap cuz of MY stupidity!!!! He's worked SO hard

& really did a beautiful job.

Do any of you have semi gloss in your living/family

rooms?????????????????????????????? I'm making myself sick right now.

Thanks in advance!

How about repainting in the same color but in an eggshell finish.

This way you may only have to do one coat. Eggshell is one level up

from flat and is easy to clean but not shiny.

Debbie:

My Mom used semi-gloss throughout her house, and I thought it looked fine. I'm no decorating guru either, so I can't really be of help, but just wanted to jump in about my Mom's walls.

I have seen a really nice wall treatment done with both flat and glossy paint. You mark off very large stripes and paint them in the same color but every other one in glossy. It looks amazing.

I have seen a dining room and a living room done in this way. I also saw a fancy bathroom on some decorator show on tv. The living room is done in a burgandy paint and it looks great. the dining room is done in a cream colored paint and it also looks great. I want to do it in my living room, but i am hesatant about getting my stripes into straight lines! I might have my friend come over and do the masking as hers are perfect.

Anne:

That sounds gorgeous! It must be nice to have such talents. I am

honestly the worst at anything artsy - I struggled with stickers on

Abby's bands :'(. I really wish I had some talent, oh well, I guess

I can always get by on my good looks LOL - hey none of you know what

I look like (besides Kendra & Marci, ohoh) so I can get away with

that statement in here, teehee.

My walls really do look just fine, I just let my sister put doubt

into my insecure mind. Hubby put one more coat of one wall that

needed it & it looks better.

Good luck with that striping, it sounds so cool!
