It is a medium gray color from Ben Moore. It is an old file so not sure if I can find the paint number.

Can you paint cement and ceramic tile?

Hi Pamela, Yes you can but note that it won't last forever because it is paint after all. However when you apply it the correct way, it can last for a few years. You could use Homax Tough Tile Tub & Sink Refinishing Kit (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Homax-Tough-as-Tile-One-Part-Brush-On-White-2106/202061380#) , which you can find at Home Depot for about $35 or so. I used it for the bath tub and tiles in the bathroom and love how it came out. Let's say that it is the next best solution if you want to change the look of your tiles on a budget. Just be aware that it is very toxic so you may want to wear gloves and a mask because the epoxy gives off some really nasty fumes. I’d even say, best to open the windows if possible. Having the right basics to work off are crucial so make sure to first and foremost clean your tile with the solution that is in the kit. Once the tiles are clean you can apply the epoxy paint with the brush that is in the kit. Don’t worry about the brush strokes, as they will even out eventually. You will need to apply more than one coat but make sure the first one is dry before applying the second one. It takes a few hours for the first one to dry. Two coats were sufficient to cover my tile and provide a great looking finish but if you want to apply more (depending on the tiles’ existing color) you can. Note that you can also paint the grout in between. On the box it says that it is completely dry after a few days but I’d say one week to be safe. A bit frustrating to have to wait that long but it’s worth the wait. Good luck! Elfya

Colours - which colour and where!?
Q
Commentaires (7)
Hello, F&B Black Blue is gorgeous for the staircase and I personnally would'paint the whole wall (including above the chimney) in a nice F&b yellow'colour, such as Yellow ground or Dayroom Yellow. I'm sure this combination of colours'will just be stunning. However I would recommend that you test the colours before choosing one (on reasonnably big surface,i.e. 1sq. meter) because once applied on a surface the colour might look very different than what we expected. F&B sells samples for 8€ and I really think this is worth it. I' telling'you this because I experimented it in my house. I was convinced one colour was THE one and still tested another one aswell by precaution and, once applied on the wall, the second one was an evidence. Good luck and pls keep us up to date. Looking forward to see the picture.

Green interior design is essential to your health

Why is a green interior design essential to your health and the health of your children ? Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. It includes a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects and are up to 10 times more concentrated indoor than outdoor. Most of the VOCs come from paint, glue and a lot of building material. How to reduce or eliminate VOCs from your home ? What is good for you is also good for the environment. To have a greener interior design the first step ins get rid of the chemicals in the paint. The use of a water based paint is the most ecological, it gets well to almost any surface and is weather-resistant. It is also cheaper than an oil based paint ! Now let’s get to your furniture. Of course an organic mattress or an air purifier would be very recommended to keep you away from VOCs. You should also make sure that the furniture is made from organic materials, free from potentially harmful chemicals. Important certifications : When looking for non-toxic furniture, make sure they are Greenguard certified. Greenguard certification is issued for products that meet rigorous criteria for VOCs emissions set by key public health agencies. Forest Stewardship Council certifies wood is harvested respecting indigenous people’s rights without causing any harm to the environment.

should I paint my fireplace
Q

Hello genevieve Lepine Personnally, I'm more concerned about the red wall. If it will be treated in white, that's already a great step. The fireplace, staying the way it is doesn't seem too much of an issue. I'm not really too fan of glossy paint, either, especially on fireplaces. Painting over tile takes somewhat of a technical mastery, otherwise any missed movement can cause a scratch. If you have heat coming from the flames, the paint should not budge. Keeping the wood flooring, beige "faux stone" tiles and white walls allows many style choices. Have you looked into the work of Studio McGee? They alway keep the space neutral and add contrasting details. (Of course in my reference images, the fireplaces are white...why not? but perhaps not glossy). I'd replace the recessed lighting fixtures with white ones, as well. good luck, Lynn
