Home At Last 2
If you asked my daughters what the first thing is I do when moving into a new residence, there would be no hesitation to their answer - I paint the closets. It doesn’t matter if I am purchasing a home or renting, I have to paint the closets. When people paint rooms they generally do not take the time to paint the closets. If you look closely you will see the walls are dirty and dingy and probably not the same color as the room. I want the closets to be clean and fresh before I start putting my belongings away!
Since I haven’t decided on a color scheme for the entire house yet I chose a basic tan color for the closets. (More than likely, when I finally paint the room I will repaint the closet the same color.) I chose a paint called “Lucite” because it was the cheapest on the shelf. (I try not to use the word cheap I prefer least expensive but in this case cheap describes it best.) I asked myself “why should I purchase a premium paint for the closet?” Once I got the paint home and opened the can my question was answered. First of all the Lucite paint had a terrible odor which took several days to dissipate. Second, it is very thin. To answer my own question, always purchase a premium paint for your projects - you will have much better results.
A week later I was driving past a Sherwin Williams paint store and there was a sign outside that said “40% off”. I went home and picked up the color sample for the bedroom and purchased Sherwin Williams paint. I love Sherwin Williams! They offer a great color palette, and their paint is just the right thickness and covers beautifully. I have promised myself never to buy another cheap gallon of paint. A premium paint is worth every penny you spend.
