I recently started buying Behr Premium Ultra and it seems kind of incredible to me. It's got amazing coverage and really covers up bright paint easily. Here are some photos of my formerly-insane bathroom, bright yellow and very dark blue, repainted with very pale shades from Behr. http://bohohouseandhome.blogspot.ca/2013/01/ive-finally-started-project.html

It's available in Canada, too, but only in stores, it can't be ordered online.

This article appeared in my Facebook newsfeed literally the MOMENT that I sat down to the computer after losing out on my dream house, and it took me now to comment. Talk about timing!
I wrote about the dream house here:

Hi JnJ

I work in retail, so my boss let me take them home from work. You could find somthing similar at a retail display store. I believe ours originally came from a store called WR DIsplay (http://www.wrdisplay.ca/catalog/) but you should be able to Google retail display + the name of your city and find something similar.

Brags! What DIY Project Are You Most Proud Of?

I'm in the process of staging my overly-funky house for re-sale, and just put up a pretty sweet entryway system. http://bohohouseandhome.blogspot.ca/2013/02/before-and-after-foyer.html

I've also been working on the bathroom and it's pretty nice, too!

My husband and I have separate bedrooms, because he snores and is a human heater. We also have different sleep habits/schedules, i.e. he often falls asleep before 10pm and gets up at 5am, whereas I'll read in bed from 11-1am and get up at 9. This way we don't resent each other for keeping one another awake, or disturbing each other's rest. It's definitely an arrangement that works for us. It's also really nice to have a space of your own. My great-grandparents also had separate rooms and I always thought that was cool. They were very close, but also liked their own space. My best pal and her husband have separate rooms as well, but most of my friends feel that they couldn't sleep apart from their partners.

Agree with not liking granite and I truly despise Live Laugh Love type crap. Kills me. It was hard to even write it! ;) But to each their own.
