Color Conundrum

It's been another comedy of errors the past couple of days - choosing paint colors in fast forward is a little stressful. Mike actually wishes I hired a designer to tell us what colors to paint, but I think we're good to go now. C'mon man! I'm working with an inch of color here!!!! My concern about a designer is they will choose something like the Copper Coin because hey, on paper it looks great, and I will doubt myself and feel like I have to do it because they said to or I wasted my money paying for an opinion I didn't use. And yes, my eyes about popped outta my head on the Copper Coin one, but better to know now than after the paint guys leave right?

So, 7 cans of sample paint later, we have our colors chosen. We have Ryegrass green for the living and dining area, Burnt Umber for the kitchen and Kensington Green which is really a blue for the laundry room. There are 7 gallons ready for the paint guys on Monday. We're not painting ourselves because of the high ceilings, too much trim work, and my shoulders still aren't up for it. Just painting the samples made it burn.

I'll go find a camera and document the crazy color patches everywhere as our "Before" shots! Can't wait to show you the "Afters"!
