as you know, while it is the only way to get things exactly right for her clients (and that’s the most important thing!) mrs. jones is at times vexed by the sampling process.  but when a lovely client requested two boards to compare different finishes in fine paints of europe’s hollandlac formula,  she could not get those cans (fresh off the fedex flight) opened fast enough.  it is the coolest paint ever, and either one – satin or high gloss - will make for a gorgeous front door. (house: just-off-white painted brick…shutters: yummy cocoa brown.)
