About 4 1/2 years ago, I wanted to paint my upstairs. I taped a whole bunch of paint samples verrrry similar to these colors on my wall. Maybe it was the cloudy/gray skies that I was constantly seeing at the time, but I thought it would be too depressing to have blue/gray walls.
So, I found a picture from Ralph Lauren that had this kind of suede color and navy blue and went with that. Awesome in the picture, not my favorite on my wall. So, it is back to square one where I started years ago. Decisions decisions.
And I should probably black out all of the paint names, because really Seaside Villa sounds so much cooler than Thar She Blows. I can't let the names influence my decision.
You are hilarious Julie. Some paint names just crack me up. Love reading your blog. Good luck with the paint!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm confused? Where are you painting?
ReplyDeleteAre you really considering painting your upstairs again??? I am usually the only crazy one to do such things. Good luck. I usually just start taking off ones that I really don't like. Then just pick one!!!
ReplyDelete"Thar She Blows"?? What color does that even mean? Good luck with the painting. :)
ReplyDeleteI always have such a hard time deciding on the color. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteJana-I'm hoping to paint the upstairs next month. (Not the bedrooms etc.) I don't love the color that it is right now.
ReplyDeleteI am the worst at picking out paint color. Good luck! Ya, black out the names!
ReplyDeleteI am SO the same - I can't pick a name like pungent mushroom even IF I liked the color. Sorry, but a rose by any other name does NOT smell as sweet. I like the one that is in the second group and it is up at the very top and it is the second one over (actually it is the second and LAST on on the right.) At least on line that is my pick. I think it is a little LESS "cloudy IF day" and a little more sunny, without being obnoxious, blue.
