Exercise Room with Benjamin Moore Aura

Recently did a big job, which included painting many ceilings that had a lot of water damage, cracks and nail pops that were the result of some bad craftsmanship by the the contractors that built the home a little over two years ago.

The most enjoyable part of the job was painting the unfinished exercise room.  I decided to go with Benjamin Moore Aura eggshell sheen on this job. I have not used this paint a lot, but have heard great things about it.  What great paint.  Deep, rich colors.  Easy to cut with, and rolls on even better.  The color on the walls is Refined, the ceiling was painted with Benjamin Moore Waterborne ceiling paint, and the trim was done with Benjamin Moore Advance in semi-gloss.

Note on the rough cut line on the risers: There was still some wood putty that the home owner had used to fill nail holes that had not been cleaned at the time that the pictures was taken
