Vintage Benjamin Moore

 
 
Here are some great old Benjamin Moore ads for your viewing pleasure.


Regal wall satin for "Moore freshness".

Do more, easier.

Sweet, sweet Betty Moore

When you're the painter...

Nice rebus!

A little Moore...

MOORE!

Nothing like today's Regal Select.

Beauty!

Colors that still stand up to today's décor styles.

True story.

Isn't this what all painters look like?

Betty didn't actually exist, but she had lots of folks seeking her advice!

Creative ways to use wallpaper

When you think wallpaper, don't think of those dated duck boarders that your ex-boyfriends' mom had in her kitchen (love you, Brenda!)... think of the updated colors and patterns available at Economy Paint Supply and all the clever ways you can use them!
 
 
On the ceiling, wallpaper is creative and funky, even in classic patterns.
 
 
A rich and classic look in a restored older home.

 
A little something for that light to bounce off in this gilded half bath.

 
The perfect background to highlight books and treasures.

 
A nice pattern for the closet of her dreams.
 
 
A little something whimsical for the stairs.

 
A classic black and white pattern would work with any style decor.
 
 
A fantastic update for some old furniture.

 
Use paintable wallpaper to cover up any blemishes on the wood and add a ton of character for very little money. A reason to reconsider that piece you saw on the side of the road yesterday...
