Hey y’all, it’s Jennifer here. So, I’ve got a little confession to make. I once had this wild idea to paint my living room walls with eggshell paint.<\/p>\n
I mean, I thought it would look sleek and fancy, like some fancy hotel room or something. But let me tell you, it was a hot mess.<\/p>\n
First off, I didn’t even know what eggshell was. I just heard it was a “shiny” paint, and I was like “sign me up!” But what I didn’t realize was that “shiny” in paint terms is a whole different ballgame. I mean, my walls looked like they were coated in gloss or something.<\/p>\n
It was so shiny, that it was reflecting everything in the room. My lamps were creating these weird shadows on the walls, and my furniture was looking distorted.<\/p>\n
It was like living in a funhouse, and not in a good way. I even had to close the curtains during the day because the sun was creating these crazy light patterns on the walls.<\/p>\n
And let’s not even talk about the fingerprints. Oh boy, it was like every time someone touched the walls they left a little mark.<\/p>\n
It was like trying to keep a brand new car clean, impossible. But the worst part was, when I tried to fix it by adding more coats of paint<\/a>, it just made it worse. The shine was so intense it was almost blinding.<\/p>\n So, let this be a cautionary tale for y’all. Eggshell paint<\/a> may seem like a good idea, but it can be way too shiny for walls.<\/strong> But don’t just take my word for it, keep reading to find out more.<\/p>\n Table of Contents<\/p>\n
