Paint projects using Behr Semi-Gloss Latex Enamel
Want to know the crazy thing? We ordered this paint online. At the time, we didn’t even want to go into a hardware store and for the price of a gallon of Behr Charcoal Blue paint, we knew it was worth trying. Little did we know how many DIY paint projects a gallon of this paint would get us. Here are 6 paint projects using Behr Charcoal Blue.

Where can you buy Behr paint?
We ordered it online from Home Depot. We did when we ordered our stock cabinets for our laundry room makeover. Now we thought we were going to use two gallons to paint our interior doors, but I guess that DIY project just hasn’t happened yet.
Pros to this Behr paint
Cheaper than other semi-gloss latex enamel paints
Does have a nice finished and shiny look
Easily applies to different surfaces
We are normally Sherwin Williams paint people and you can see why in this repaint of our kitchen island. But even on sale, SW paint can sometimes run you a lot more than this paint. Therefore, that is why we tried this paint. As of right now, it is holding up on all of our projects (and we have kids that completely destroy things).
I am sure next year we can come back and update if this paint easily becomes damaged, etc.
Do you need help deciding what color of paint to use for your cabinets or walls?
We recently just tried Samplize and it totally beats having to buy individual paint samples. These 12″ x 12″ samples will get shipped directly to you and save the hassle of clean-up (we loved that). Check out the brands you can get here. You can also check out our post, see our review and hopefully get the answers to those frequently asked Samplize questions.
