Regarding the pie crust question the key is really about keeping everything cold. I tried making pie dough last weekend and used frozen butter that I grated right into the flour mixture and it made such a difference in the flakiness. I also added a little bit of vinegar to the water which helps prevent gluten formation. For the filling I used a mix of granny smith and honeycrisp apples because I like the balance of tart and sweet. I tossed them with cinnamon nutmeg and a small amount of flour to thicken things up. The bake time ended up being about 50 minutes at 375 and I put a foil ring on the crust edges for the first 30 minutes to prevent burning. Next time I might try adding some cardamom to the filling mix. I also want to experiment with using lard instead of butter for part of the fat content. The texture was really good but I think it could be even flakier.

I also tried a different technique for crimping the edges this time. I used a fork to press down the edges instead of doing it by hand and it gave a much cleaner look. The crust held up well during baking and didn't shrink too much. I think the resting time in the fridge before baking helped with that as well. Let me know if you want the exact measurements I used for the flour and fat ratio.

One other thing I learned is that brushing the top crust with an egg wash gives a nice golden color. I used one egg yolk mixed with a tablespoon of cream and it worked perfectly. The sugar sprinkle on top added a nice crunch too.

Regarding the paint color question we finally finished painting the living room this weekend and the color turned out better than I expected. We went with a warm sage green on the accent wall and a soft cream for the other three walls. The prep work took longer than the actual painting did. We spent a whole afternoon just taping off the trim and covering the furniture. I used a good quality primer first because the previous color was a dark burgundy. It took two coats of primer to fully cover it before we even got to the green. The paint we used had a matte finish which hides imperfections really well. We still need to decide on curtain colors and I am leaning towards something in a natural linen tone. The room feels much more open and calm now compared to before. Moving the furniture around also helped with the flow of the space.

We also decided to replace the old light fixture with a semi-flush mount that has a brushed nickel finish and it really brightens everything up. The whole project took about three weekends because we took our time with the prep work and let each coat dry fully. I found that using a high density foam roller gave the smoothest finish on the walls. The trim work was done with a angled brush and it turned out pretty clean with only a few spots needed touch up. Now we are looking at area rugs to tie the room together.

I would recommend starting with the ceiling first if you ever tackle a similar project. We did the ceiling before the walls and it made the whole process much cleaner since you can be a little messy with the ceiling paint without worrying about the walls yet. We used a flat white for the ceiling and it helped make the room feel taller.
