We're finally putting some color on the walls of the second floor!  After weeks of prepping for it, we started cutting it in.



It started looking better almost immediately!



Sherwin-Williams has been our preferred paint, but we'd heard so much about the quality of Farrow and Ball, this time around we decided to try a different paint. 



Without a doubt, the Farrow and Ball paint is excellent.  Known for their highly pigmented colors, the Estate Emulsion we're using is Drawing Room Blue and the depth of the color is incredible.  The down side is the price.  It is ridiculously expensive, but as the saying goes:  "You get what you pay for."  It took only one gallon to cut in twice and roll twice--the coverage is outstanding.  This was helped by using the gray-scale tinting in the primer.  No doubt, most other paints would have required more paint. 

The depth and beauty of this color may not translate well in the picture here, but it truly is exceptional. 



Our friend, Lynn, said, "You guys sure aren't afraid of color!"  Me thinks she's right!
