This is a great paint for anyone on a budget or who is renovating to sell or rent. I have a couple more rooms to paint in the future and I will definitely be using the Behr i300. I have used contractor grade paint from another home store and found it to be flat and dull. I am impressed and found the eggshell finish to be more of a satin than a flatter finish. I did 2 light coats and it covered the medium satin finish brown paint beautifully. The Behr i300 paint is eggshell and goes on smooth. To light them up I found LED Christmas lights on clearance at Walgreens and tacked them along the back to uplight the few knick knacks and pictures we put up. I left the shelves I had built a few years back unpainted because they were only going to be temporary. At first the paint guy said that Behr i300 cannot be tinted dark, however, Celebration Blue is a medium blue which came out pretty damn close. Oops I digressed….įast forward to now: I love the color my son chose. Our dream is move to a farm and start our next 20 years fulfilling a dream, working a garden/antique/general store, and rescuing farm animals. I did not want to spend much on paint since we know (more like really want) to sell or rent this home after our son graduates this year. So last week I went to Home Depot, picked up some paint samples, and laid them on the table where my son walked over and picked one- Celebration Blue – a Behr Marquee color. Marshall, who is our youngest left at home, is a minimalist who loves blue and actually has an eye for design. He does not like a lot of stuff in his room unlike our other kids who had trinkets, knick knacks, and ‘stuff’ filling their rooms. Truth is I did not feel like painting either so I was happy he chose to live with the color. I always thought this brown was a bit dreary for a bedroom (hubby had picked it a few years ago) because this room was his office at one time (and my oldest son’s bedroom too). This was funny coming from him because about 6 months ago when we moved him from the 3rd floor to this bedroom he said he did not care what color the room was.
Right after Christmas my teenage son asked if I could paint his room AND he wanted it blue.
