paint help
any reccos on good paint brands and stores in Nassau to purchase? Also, do companies sell samples so I can smear all over the walls as a test?
I am obsessed with resoration hardware paint colors but I heard they are pricey... do you have to order those at the store or do paint stores carry this brand? Is it special order?

I'd recommend Benjamin Moore paint. It's about $50 - $60 a gallon, but they have great colors and the quality is great. They have little sample bottles for like $4.99.

I second BM paint, especially the Aura paint line. No fumes, primer in it and GREAT coverage. One coat (of a lighter color) covered very dark colors in our new place.

Re: paint help
I'm a big fan of Behr paints as well. I think they have a nice selection of colors and cover really well. I also love Benjamin Moore paints

I think it's on the high end, but worth it.
I also have used Behr's in the past like a couple other posters and it went on really well.
