OK. I've found my new FAVORITE paint!!!!
It's Kilz Casual Colors sold at Walmart ~
Yes. Walmart!
I'm frugal, I admit it...
but I also love a paint that covers quickly and beautifully.

So, what did I do?
I Googled it!
I've seen Kilz paint at w-mart before and wondered about it....
but after searching online, the rave reviews
about this paint convinced me to give it a try ~
It's so wonderfully thick....
Plus they have it in eggshell, perfect!

Here is the "after" in the foyer!!!!
I didn't end up with the Manchester Tan by BM because
frankly I didn't want to pay the price ~
(I'll post the formula in my next post if you like it :)

It's beautiful!! I am thrilled for you! This is an exciting time, I love to see how you make this home "yours."
I've been using Kilz ever since I bought my house. It is a wonder product. Even covers water stains!!!
Your new home is looking beautiful!!!
Hi Dawn:
What a wonderful welcome to your new home! Looking forward to seeing more.

What a lovely color, Dawn! So warm and cozy and it really sets off the white trim. It will be the perfect backdrop for anything! Paint colors can be so hard to pick. You did good!
Michelle
Looks wonderful Dawn!
Thanks for the tip on the new paint.
Does it seal and paint at the same time???
We have used Kilz to seal many projects over the years, but then always painted over it with another paint.
thanks

I love watching the progress! So glad to learn about the Kilz Casual Colors - didn't know! I have long used the Kilz primer, so I'm definitely going to check out the colors.
Good tip! I hate paying top dollar for paint. Love the quirky factor about your new home as I'm smiling at the door and the moldings around it. Will it remain part of its charm or are you getting your hubby to do some carpentry chores?
I love that color !
It looks wonderful ~
My favorite pink is a Wal Mart color ~
xoxo
Lori

Debbie
Dawn, your new house is really becoming a lovely home.
Have fun with it and we all want to share in your excitement.
Sandi
That look super Dawn...those look like the colors I have in my hallway! I like it so much I was thinking I might like it in my living room but silly me forgot to save the color name I used so maybe you have provided me with a substitution! :-) The one thing I wish I had in my old farmhouse is a foyer, when you open the front door there you are, right in the living room. Can't wait to see more.
xoxo
Man, you're really gettin' after it with the decorating and painting! Where do you get the energy, woman? ;-)
At the rate you're going, I expect to see you finished and ready to start helping US paint our house next!
XO,
Anne
You're making great headway, Dawn. You guys have really been busy with the paint roller. That's the first I've heard of Kilz having another type of paint. I'll have to remember this. Don't work too hard, but I know right now it's still in the "fun" catagory. Everything is looking really good!
xo,
Debra
dawn, your new home is beautiful! i have always longed for an old farmhouse with a porch and barn. how fun to decorate and enjoy the sweet quiet of the country. keep posting the pics:)
xo
Dawn,
Good choice. I like Kilz too, it's great to use when you want to go from a dark color to a much lighter color. I would not have the energy to do all you are doing. We will not get tired of hearing and seeing how you "feather your new nest." :')
Warmly, Linda
Dawn it's beautiful! I am so enjoying watching you put it all together. It's so exciting to come here everyday and see what the latest is on your new place. Beautiful color - I don't think we ever get tired of the postings about your new farm home. Keep it coming!
Kilz paint is wonderful! We used it for my daughter's condo because it covered so much better than the other more expen$ive paint$! Everything looks wonderful!
Dear Dawn, We'll never get tired of looking at whatever you create. It looks so welcoming! Don't forget to take some time and enjoy this holiday weekend. Love, Penny
