| I want a blank canvas to show off furntiure,reclaimed, distressed hardwood floors, and architexture. My friend/designer recommends painting the ceiling, walls, and trim the same shade of white (happens to be SW Reserved White) which I am fine with. She also wants it ALL to be semi-gloss. My painter (76 year old father) and husband are hesitant. Have y'all seen this and is it a good look? This is happening in nearly every room on my main floor so I can't afford a mistake! Btw, my windows and doors will be painted a darker shade - Urban Bronze.
THANKS!!!! |

| It's okay if you are willing to overlook what high sheen does to wall surfaces. Every flaw in every surface will now be amplified. Some designers don't even consider that. I think this look is fine in an older house with old wavy plaster walls that are probably not going to look that good no matter what sheen you use. |

| My friend/designer needs to go to decorating school. a semi gloss will look like a hospital room, or most likely much, much worse as paintguy has explained. not a good choice at all |

| Thanks - we over ruled the suggestion. |
