How hard is picking a paint color? I just need to turn my bright white house into a masterpiece to the eye - easy?? NO WAY!! I have a handful of friends that have been trying to help me find paint - and I must say that I have come a long way since we moved in, but still have to choose between two colors! I have gone to the store on several occasions to try to get samples, and they are always out of the "base" they need to mix the sample - argh!!! Plus, I have so many different ideas about my dining room - it is killing me!! (Thats a whole other story) All the interior design classes I took in college are blanking out of my mind - colors seem to all run together - and my husband is obsessed with a blue paint swatch from Lowes!! What is a girl to do???

Blue is AWESOME, we have a great blue wall we painted in our living room when we moved here. And Just be patien...they'll have the paint base one of these days. Have you been thinking about a baby's room yet?
I feel for you, we went crazy when we first bought our place. Blue is good, we painted our room blue and our kitchen red. Good luck with it!
Don't stress - just RELAX! I always feel like when I rush into a paint job and don't take my time choosing a color that I regret it! It's taken me 3 years to finally decide what color I'm going to paint my bedroom - now I just have to get it done!
Go to Lowe's! :) (I have to say that- Paul works ther!)
Ian always makes those decisions. Luckily we have the same taste :)
I had my sister Emily pick our pant colors. Brown and Green and even a little purple. Jason is still trying to get use to the purple.
One more thing - go to behr.com and play with paint colors you like - you can see what they will look like on a wall in a "sample" room - gives you a good feel for how a color will look on a larger scale!
All else fails you can always redo it. I repainted my living room three times in one week because I couldn't get used to the color. Josh always teases me that all the colors I pick are shades of brown. Good luck! I'll try to bring some samples by today.
Just wanted to say hi. Hi. How are you. I guess I should call you, but lets face it, I am lazy. :)
