Hello,

I recently bought a townhome and wanted to share some pics. Maybe get some ideas and comments from others on the same journey to improve/customize their homes.

And here I just wanted a bright garage. However each non colored strip is a beam so i know where all my studs are for my rubbermaid hanging shelving system i will get.

Excellent job on all the applications. Your candlelight looks great--that's a hard finish to apply. Did you spray the metallic--sure looks like it. Fab, thanks for sharing.

My apologies for the extremely SLOW response.

First thank you very much for the compliment.

I would like to apply more candlelight in some other areas but i'm not sure where as of yet. I rolled on the metallic with the RL roller it wasn't that hard really. The Suede was the most intensive, as you have to bush the second coat on ( all though after one coat with the roller did look acceptable ) and that was like 1000 brush strokes or more.

I'm thinking of getting some Benjamin Moore Aura paint for upstairs seems like a good quality paint.
