You get what you pay for!

Just an update on the painting. After 4 coats of Behr paint, I was not satisfied with the quality of the paint. The color was not coming through and the way it fell on the wall was lumpy. So, after going through 2 gallons James suggested that we go to Sherwin Williams. Oh my gosh. They had a better match to the color I wanted and they were willing to mix a gallon for me to see and if it didn't look like the color I wanted he wouldn't charge me. It was the perfect color and he recommended how to fix our problem.

One coat later the walls in my room are 100% better! It seems like the Behr paint is clear and the Sherwin Williams paint is thick and creamy. Way better coverage. So, we should be done the red tomorrow before bed.

This is the color of the room before painting. The primer brand is Zap. Notice the great coverage! Take note of the color of the red on the wall pre-Behr.

This is after 4 coats of the Behr red. It is very thin and you can see the lines on the wall from the roller. The edging was not drying as the same color as the wall. The red is supposed to be a bright red... this is coming out as a maroon with some red splashed over it.
OK, this is after 1 coat of the Sherwin Williams. It looks pink due to the flash, but it is a bright red. Just think candy apple. You can see the contrast to the 4 coats of Behr.

So, long story short. Spend the money on good paint at a place where the staff is trained to get you the best results.

This is a shot of the guest room after the painting is done. The final step was washing the carpet. This is our temporary room while the master bedroom is being painted.

Looks like I am not the only one who likes the king size pillow top bed!
