nothing much happening now. been trying to decide on the colors to paint the kitchen/family room. never realized that the swatches you get from the paint store are sometimes NOTHING like what it actually looks like on the wall! i had my heart set on a specific color (it's the top right color in the second picture). on the swatch it looked like green, with a tinge of blue. on the wall it looked downright blue!!! how sad... so the hunt started. ask michelle; how many handfuls of swatches did i pick up??? from lowe's, home depot, dales, kelly paints... so finally decided on the color that's on the bottom left, the lighter strip of color on top of it will be the ceiling. kinda hard to see the actual color in the pic, though.
the colors in the first picture are the colors for the dining room. while lying in bed on wednesday, i realized that the dining room is also going to be painted!!! oh no!!! more dilemmas. i wanted a blue with a gray/green tinge. okay, sounds easy to find. NOT!!! i think the guy who mixes the paint at home depot is sick of me. they had to refill their paint sample display today while i was there; did i buy that many??? i went there three times today. i think we're leaning toward the bottom right color. but in the pic it looks kinda purple, no? but it's not, more blue (i hope!). i think the ceiling in the dining room is staying white; i don't want to look at any more paint.

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your paint fatigue. Maybe you should keep the wall "as is" (right photo showing how you painted the different shades). It would look like modern art...
