One of my first places, I had a great vision for the kitchen. I was going to make it "garden-like"- a pretty green base, under white lattice. What I got would have un-nerved St. Patrick himself. It was like stepping into a giant florescent shamrock!
Could be you don't have an inspiration or,
you're afraid of what your color choice will look like in your room.

I wish I had seen this last week, before Teresa and I went out in search of paint colors for her "new look". We hit a few stores including Hometown Paint in Franklin. They also had a pretty cool thing there. A display where you can view your chip under different simulated light options.

I think Sherwin Williams has it right! How fabulous that a homeowner can upload a picture of the actual room they want to paint (with furniture and window coverings). Seeing what the color will look like in your own home without actually having to paint will save a lot of time, aggravation and money.
ReplyDeleteI would certainly by the Sherwin Williams brand just because of this!
Excellent post - Thanks for sharing.
I am about to upload my living room! Will keep you posted!
