Finding that perfect color...

This post falls under the category of 

"wish I'd known this last week"

Whew, what a weekend, I'm pooped. The Master Bedroom and Bath are done, more on that this week, but just wanted to do a quick post inspired by an email from Catherine from Freddy and Petunia. She told me about a great design tool available with Behr Paint to find the "just right" color. So I'm sending you over to F&P, she has some super info that all us die hard DIY'ers will find pretty handy!

See ya tomorrow for Monday Marketplace,

hope you've had a great weekend!

I'll announce the winner of the give away

from French Bleu Vintage tomorrow morning.

xoxo,

This is what I'm doing this weekend...

After 4 days of trying to find just the right shade of "taupe"

this is how I feel.

Too pink...

too green...

too brown...

too gold...

looks like cement...

does that look purple to you?...

I've looked at so many paint chips and tried almost as many.

my walls look like a patchwork quilt.

I've finally found the right one, and my daughter Aly will be here with me

this weekend painting the master bedroom and master bath

...and maybe my closet if we have the time and haven't fallen over.

keep a good thought for us,

this is just the beginning...
