We decided to hire a painter to fix the bedroom because it's pretty cheap right now to get folks like painters and it's better to have someone who can come tomorrow or Friday than to try to get it done on the weekend. We had a dude come yesterday to give an estimate and he said he thought he could get it done in 4 hours, so hey, that's pretty cheap!
One thing he recommended was Benjamin Moore Paint which he said was a better quality than the paint we had. He told me where to go get it, so today I trekked into Florence to get this Benjamin Moore paint. I found the closest color match to the color we had and asked for a gallon and a quart, just like I was told.
Holy crap, the gallon was over $40!! I nearly pooped my pants. The gallon and the quart cost $60 together. Which is more than the last two gallons of our cheaper paint. This paint had BETTER work.
