Is matte paint only emulsion?

Emulsion (latex) paint is usually the least expensive matte paint, but it isn't the only kind available. For small projects such as crafts you could use acrylic paint. For walls, you could use emulsion, lime-wash or traditional milk paint. Lime-wash or milk paint would be more expensive, but they give off less toxic fumes and are also used in restoring historic homes because they are more authentic. For a very matte effect, you can also put pigments in the plaster (if you are building plaster walls) instead of painting them. Oil-based paints always have some shine to them, but are preferred for painting woodwork and for outdoor projects because they stand up to harsh weather and to being washed better than emulsion paints.

How do I convince my sister to switch rooms with me when my room is almost twice the size of hers and she would get a lot of my stuff if she wants but her room has a nicer closet and she's 9 I'm 12?

OK so this might be a little mean but shes 9 and you said she has a better closet so I'm guessing that also means bigger. What you could do is tell her that a ghost or a monster or a spider lives in her closet it worked for me when I want something that my little sister has.

Answers with Nolen Niu?

Congrats on "Framework" and being selected to judge the first ever furniture design competition series on TV! So are we talking a "Top Chef" or "Project Runway" type show but with furniture?

Much appreciated thanks! Yes, it's both in the sense that you get to see these makers design and build a piece of furniture in 24 hours by hand. The biggest difference is we're all visually familiar with furniture and don't have to taste or have a particular body type to know if we like it or not.

Can you mix satin paint and semi gloss paint and if you do will it give a dusty finish?

you can mix paint of different sheen levels provided they are of the same vehicle or base (i.e.. water based, oil based. Mixing a satin with a semi-gloss will still be reasonably close to an "eggshell" finish. The best way to know is to use the chart below and add the 2 sheen level percentages together and divide by 2.

For example a low sheen (satin) is 20% sheen + Semi-Gloss which is lets say 50%

20+50=70 divided by 2 = average sheen of 35% giving you an eggshell finish.

  • Flat (1-9% gloss)
  • Low Sheen (10-25% gloss)
  • Eggshell (26-40% gloss)
  • Semi Gloss (41-69% gloss)
  • Gloss (70-89% gloss)
