Paint and Primer favs:

Benjamin Moore Paints
  finish: I always use satin...it goes on easier than eggshell but isn't too shiny like semi-gloss.

Zinssers 1,2,3 Primer

  I love this stuff. It will stick to any surface. Any piece that I don't want to sand first or that has a finish on it already I will use this.

Glaze, Stains, and Finishing favs:

Ace Royal Touch Artistic Finishes Oil-Based Glazing Liquid
  color: 10 shots of raw umber


Minwax Wood Finish stain
 color: depends on the paint color...the lighter the paint color, the lighter the stain needs to be

Minwax Wood Finish stain markers
  color: depends on the paint color...the lighter the paint color, the lighter the stain needs to be

Minwax Wipe-On Polyurethane, Clear Satin
  I use the wipe-on version on my bigger furniture pieces. It gives a thicker coat when you wipe it on.

Minwax Spray-On Polyurethane Finish, Clear Satin
  I use the spray-on version when I do picture frames and smaller pieces.
