    Looking to paint the entire house using Kelly Moore paints. Cieling, base boards, interior doors, crown molding, walls. What level of sheen should we choose for each application? We have young kids so we are looking for durability.

    Also looking for any recommendations for which white and gray go well together. There are over 1700 choices!

    Bump. Trying to choose between egg shell and satin for walls. No clue what to do for doors.

    Satoshi, debadged, rear view mirror bracket, tail gate hose clamps, trimmed mud flaps.
    The higher the gloss, the easier it is to clean.

    Use high gloss especially in kitchens and bathrooms, where moisture is present.

    As far as what colors, that is completely up to you. Get some free samples and throw it on the wall to see what you like. Keep in mind different shadows/lighting in different rooms will look different.

    Thanks for the input. Going San Francisco fog on walls in eggshell with Swiss coffee on doors/baseboards/crown/trim in semi gloss, same color in flat on cieling. Hopefully it turns out well.

    Can you get paint samples to try out the colors before buying a whole gallon?

    You can, and I did, but the samples only come in low sheen, so you have to buy some actual paint if you want to test colors and shininess.

    The painting turned out well, although I later learned my painter thinned the paint to spray it on the wall. The guy at Kelly Moore warned me if I buy the same color in the future it may not match. Other then that I happy with the results.
