Review on 🎨 32oz Heirloom Traditions All-In-One Paint in Manor House - Creamy Off White by Matthew Oumer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My favorite color of all time

I have been a professional artist for 30 years. This is my favorite furniture color. I use a commercial zep degreaser (I use a mask) for prep (that's ALL!) and for varnishing. I painted my cabinets another very expensive paint 5 years ago and it's peeling so I found this brand and thought it sounded too good to be true, but it's WAY better than any mineral/chalk paint out there needs to be waxed on top. I'm very picky about finishes - I don't like semi-gloss or satin finishes, but I prefer eggshell for my furniture. It takes 30 days to fully set before you can brush hard, I've found, but it's worth it. You can retouch in about 35-40 minutes. This paint is very soft and almost odorless. I left my doors open to paint the primer and ate dinner right between coats in the kitchen. I also paint Moroccan tiles on an apron with this paint. I first used a commercial high adhesion primer on these tiles and will be stenciling soon. The color looks great on the tiles. I used the color Polo (navy blue) for the base cabinets and sanded the edges to give the room a rustic vibe. It's a beautiful dark blue that looks almost black but is less harsh. This is my favorite creamy color that reminds me of Devon or Jersey milk cream. Enough yellow to warm it up from white. My home was built in the early 1920's and my original built in cabinets were painted this color and it looks ORIGINAL! i love this stuff Please try. No, I am not paid for my opinion. If I were selling paint, I would sell that paint.
