Unless you really hate the look, I would leave it alone.

I was in the same boat, and I decided to let it go!

I did the shinier finish in our powder room in a SW dark red, and I immediately knew I should have gone more matte. Especially with the powder room lighting, it's too shiny. When I was picking the finish I did have in the back of my head that the good quality mattes these days would wear fine, especially in a powder room, but I just went with old rule of thumb anyway. I have three kids so I'm always thinking of "cleanability".

Having said that, I think you should save the money and leave it as is. You have a good quality paint in there that you paid good money to get on the walls, so just chalk it up as a "maybe next time" lesson! :)

old rule of more sheen=better clean.

Agreed. It is an outdated rule. More sheen does offer more durability, etc. but modern mattes do too. Higher sheens are still a good fit in many cases, it's just not so much of a *must* as it used to be.

I'd let it go too.

I used SW Duration Satin throughout my house and don't find it to have too much sheen at all. Even if it did, I think that I would let it go rather than repaint if you're otherwise happy with the color.

We used BM Eggshell for some rooms and DH liked the sheen level. We later used SW for other rooms and the SW employee told me Duration didn't come in an eggshell but their satin is a close finish so that's what we went with. I can't really tell a difference as far as sheen, but the BM feels slightly less smooth to touch.

Since you said you hired painters, I would let it go! These things tend not to bother us as much as time goes on....LOL!

Leave it like it is, I'm sure you notice it more than anyone else would. Besides, you just spent $$$$$$$ for the painter, is it really that important?

I'd re-paint. Unless you think you can ignore it/not care, I would do it over. This would bug me enough to re-paint. I might consider doing it myself though to save money.
