Add paint to the list of items that manufacturers are now downsizing. Taking their cue from other manufacturers, Sherwin Williams redesigned their new paint container to have a twist off lid, a convenient built in pour spout, and 3 & 11/16ths quarts of paint. It's not a gallon anymore, it's 92% of a gallon.
Next time you order a gallon of paint at Sherwin Williams, ask them where the other 8% of a gallon is when they hand you the redesigned container. I tried calling their customer service number to ask, which provided a different phone number, which didn't work. Sherwin Williams, if you are reading this, email me.
This past weekend was spent painting the family room and kitchen. We completed the family room and also painted the main color in the kitchen. The two kitchen cabinet walls will receive a different color later. The plan is to paint the two story foyer this coming weekend.
One additional bummer is that the Sherwin Williams paint didn't cover near the estimated 350 - 400 square feet that they quote on the container. We'll have to buy another 3 gallons for the foyer at the rate it was used up. Between the missing 8% and the missing coverage, I'm pretty disappointed with S.W.
On the positive side, it feels really good finally de-white-ifying our walls. You don't realize how sterile things are until color starts to get added. A before (actually during painting prep) and after painting pic:
