    1:00 - I did this in my kitchen (intentionally). I used a lighter blue-grey on the wall facing the window, and a shade darker blue-grey on the kitchen interior where I have my cabinets, countertops & appliances (all brushed chrome / dark grey / matte black). The corner where these colors meet, it's almost imperceptible thanks to a doorway. The appearance this gives is a naturally bright room overall, with a very comfortable and complementary winter color scheme without excessive contrast.

    Great video Jeff! Two questions related to some of your talking points in the video:
    1a. How do you feel about some of the other paint technologies like Pearl and Satin finishes (for trim/doors) from a durability standpoint? I know Semi-Gloss is the "tried and true" but sometimes find it to be still too glossy.
    1b. Do you recommend sticking with Eggshell for Kitchens, Bath, and other high humidity/spill-prone locations or just ensure you get 100% Acrylic and choose your finish to taste? I know things like Benjamin Moore Aura Bathroom comes in just Matte and offers a great finish (we have it currently in our one bathroom).
    2. To get an even more razor finish on baseboards, casing, and other trim, do you recommend to ever pre-paint the entire pieces before air nailing them into place on the wall? And then just coming back with caulk and/or paint to hide all the nail holes? I would assume one would simply need to exercise just a little more caution and patience during install so as to not mar the painted pieces... Cheers!

    True with criticizing work, framed art for a while for my grandparents who did some of the best work in the industry. I see the work other people do and try to keep quiet. Noticed a piece at a tattoo shop, I noticed the framing on it and had a feeling it was my grandparents. Sure enough it was one of the last jobs my grandfather did.

    Just in case you didn’t see my project suggestion, I’m pasting it here at the top.
    Have you ever done interlocking weatherstripping? It’s the best weatherstripping I’ve ever seen. My father had it done years ago by a professional and it blocked out all the weather with no rubber strips to wear out. It involves installing an aluminum strip on all edges of the door and also the door frame. I checked RUclips and no one has posted a video completely explaining how to do this. With your ability to teach so well, I thought this would be a great project that everyone could use. It just seems to be a lost art because it involves cutting grooves into the door to install the aluminum strips. Have you ever seen this? Hopefully I explained it well enough.

    I do this using a regular 3/8 nap roller that has most of the paint rolled out of it already. What happens is the roller wool flattens out and prevents paint from getting on the other wall for an outside corner. The trick is to know exactly how much paint you have in the roller and how hard you're pressing. Works every time for me.

    The original Zinsser BIN (shellac in alcohol) not BIN 2 (alkyd base)needs to be used first before using the Odorless oil based primer for quite a few cases. Even after the best sanding and cleaning of some oily, sap, greasy, crayon, etc, the alkyd/oil versions of Zinsser or killz won't stick. Even damaged drywall or water damage. I'm not a pro, but listened to some (not you) that told me to go straight for the oil primers after cleaning and I had peeling paint. 20$ for a pint of BIN that will last multiple jobs and 30 extra minutes for peace of mind is now part of my process.

    I used flat paint on my ceilings and they are just awful to try to clean fly dirt off. So I did my living area over again in a semi gloss and I'm so pleased with it. The room is so much lighter and it's so much easier to clean. I know it goes against all advice but I guess it comes down, in the end, to what makes you happy. The bathroom ceiling has flaked and peeled in two places and I worked so hard to get it right by buying paint especially for the bathroom, carefully cleaning and undercoating. Grrr. Next time I won't bother with the expensive paints. Maybe I did something wrong along the way but what a pain. It feels like I'm on a treadmill. Ceilings are not fun!!!
