Love it! And there is nothing better then Porter's Paints! The colors are incredible and the quality excellent. They use so much pigment. I have the Interno "blooming" in my home in many rooms and on wood. It will NOT come off at all. I get Porters from Cox paint in LA. I call them up and they send it to me the very same day. I have their fan decks which are real
brushes of the color. And by the way, Cox can mix Interno in any of the Porter's colors. I am buying a jigsaw! How did you do those small cutouts??? Special blade?

Thanks for your comment! we love it too!
I have a Bosch jigsaw and have the smallest available blade (about 5mm wide). To do the cutouts I drill a pilot hole and then work with the jigsaw. Jigsaws can do very intricate work if you just take it slowly. You just have to get used to working in miniature.
