I love painting -- or rather I love the fact that it's pretty much instant gratification, in the way that say, re-doing a floor really isn't. (Two-week gratification?) Anyway, all of the paint for the stairs/hallway project was purchased from <a href="http://doitbest.com/shop/" rel="nofollow">Do It Best</a>, for us, locally, it was the one on SE Division St. at 37th. All the colors were (I'm pretty positive) their brand of paint. Although, I think they carry Ben Moore and another couple of namebrands there too. But regardless, I got everything there, so whichever state you're in, if they have that chain of hardware stores, they should have it! Not that it matters much, but I think I got all the paint in the "eggshell" finish (not quite flat, but not quite glossy either)... Glad to inspire!
