eggshell acrylic in BR?

16 years ago

I went crazy on Sunday night and pulled on the aging wallpaper in my daughter's BR. Yup, by the end of the night I took it all off. Used a vinegar solution and got the paper off, and then scrubbed the remaining adhesive off. Forget the expensive wallpaper removers, the vinegar soln worked great.

ANYWAY -- this BR will be redone next summer. The guy at Ben Moore wants to sell me a fancy mildew resistant paint. Can I just use a regular eggshell acrylic? The wallpaper had no mold, or mildew after 30 years (yes, 30 years). I hate to spend $50 bucks on a paint that will be gone in a year.

Thanks, R
