I suggest that you use exclusively water-based colors. The advancements in technology for acrylic and latex paints make painting much easier than it was traditional oil-based paints and the latest acrylics offer stunning results. The purchase of "oops paint," discounted at paint and home improvement stores, could save you hundreds of dollars on painting project.

 

Mixing your own paints, you will ensure a consistent look throughout your home, mixing the colors from the outside to the interior, and between rooms. For instance, in the course of one project, we bought ten gallon of paint from the Restore thrift store. The paint was given by Lowe's after being given back by original purchasers which included lots of greens, blues, and grays. We used a 15-gallon plastic trash container to mix all the paint, then we poured it back into the cans that originally contained it. The result was an intricate sage-green that perfectly complemented the teal-green floor tile.

 

The paint for the trash can outside first, and then we added white interior paint to continue the interior color scheme, initially painting the living area and the bathroom. Then , I added a bit of green to the rest and painted the bedroom. Each room was added a bit more the white paint semi-gloss. As we worked we saved the glass jars of each blend of paint to use for touch-ups.

 

Experts in the field of painting recommend mixing the same kind of paint such as exterior latex and exterior the latex, interior acrylic with interior acrylic; interior latex and interior latex, and the list goes on. We do mix both paints for both interior and exterior use, and have not experienced any difficulties. The amount of sheen doesn't make a huge difference when mixing paints or unless you're looking for a specific look.

 

In one instance, I began with five gallons baby blue paint from a thrift store, and then added a quarter of black, in order to "gray down" the baby blue. As we moved through the bedrooms I added more semi-gloss white latex paint into the mixture. After I finished I was able to see the entire upstairs of the house was harmoniously blended but each room had distinct colors and personalities.

 

To make another change to the doghouse I added amber color that you can pick from most paint stores (but make sure to use it sparingly, since a tiny amount goes far) up to five gallon of boring beige paint. The first phase was in the main bedroom using the darker shade and then adding white as we moved through. The lightest shade was in the living room, which has an impressive 23 feet of ceiling.
