BM's "white dove" is still a good choice for white walls. You have a great collection of images in your ideabook.

Would you go with flat or and higher sheen? I usually use Pearl but I am being persuaded to use flat. I always thought flat paint looked chaulky. Any thoughts?

In my own home I am switching from flat to eggshell. Flat paint looks, well, flat. No dimension, no sheen, no sparkle. And eggshell is more washable.

I would go with eggshell. If you touch flat, one time it is gone and needs to be repainted. Lowes brand is good paint. I find it comparable to Sherwin Williams and it is usually less expensive. Eggshell really does not have a sheen. If you want a sheen for the walls do semi-gloss and it is very durable and washable; I used to use it in apartments I owned b/c I did not want to paint all the time. I use eggshell in my home except in Bathrooms. I use a water based enamel for trim- do not like dealing with oil based.

I don't like oil based either. Too messy and smelly and a pain to clean.
