Hi need help
Thinking about painting my ceiling 1/4 Lexicon, walls to be painted 1/2 hogs bristle, and trim hogs bristle on doors and trim.
What do you folks think any suggestions would be appreciated.
We used hog's bristle half strength on the window and door frames (exterior) of our previous PPoR reno. It was a light contrast to the much darker render walls. This made the hog's look even lighter again, which I wanted.
We actually half-strengthed it to get some of the yellow out of it (I have an aversion to anything that is remotely "nanna-beige"; i.e yellow in hue). We were going to use half hog's on the walls, but it was too yellow for my taste.
In our new PPoR build (and in the previous PPoR reno), we have used "China White" half-strength for the whole interior. Nice and fresh, still warm; but no beige.
In the PPoR reno, we used straight white on all the interior frames and skirts in hi-gloss enamel, and it looked great with the China White Half, but in the new PPoR build we opted for the same colour on every interior surface - ceilings, walls and all window and door frames, skirts.
All the window, door and skirts are in high gloss acrylic, the walls in satin acrylic and the ceilings in flat acrylic. There is just enough of a contrast from the different finishes to give a noticeable contrast even with the same colour.
