FIL+Paint

This is my future FIL and I at the paint store picking out the final glosses and things for our paint purchase. We have officially picked a "white-winner" and the standout favorite is...drumroll please...

DECORATOR'S WHITE!!!

After searching through the gazillions of whites that are out there this one came out on top. It's Benjamin Moore's top white seller and I found it mentioned again and again on blogs and in design magazines. The swatch we painted at the house was the best with our dark wood floors so the decision was made and today my future FIL and I brought home 12 gallons of paint+4 gallons of primer! I am also happy to report that we went with the low-VOC grade paint which has far less toxins than your standard paint. I learned all about that over at my favorite DIY Home blog: Young House Love.

Not that any of you care :) but our walls will be done in an Eggshell finish while our trim (baseboards, crown molding, etc.) will be done in a Satin finish. Who knew there were so many more decisions to make once we'd picked the color?!? Haha. It never ends!

Here's to my fFIL who will be painting the entire interior of our house (can you believe it?). He's painted every house that he's ever lived in by himself so I know that it will be done well. Go get 'em Tiger! ;)
