I stumbled upon it through pinterest and now I look forward to getting the updates in my email all the time! <br /><br />I actually went the other way with a paint color recently. We just moved into a new place (yay for new possibilities!) and I wasn't going to paint our bedroom because I hadn't taken the time to choose a color yet. But we had my father-in-law in town to help us out and he was on a painting kick. So when I bought paint for my daughter's room and our kitchen, I made a quick decision and got Behr's Spring Green for our room. I was really nervous about it (especially since I hadn't shown it to my hubby AT ALL), but when I got home from work to see the newly painted room I LOVED it! It was perfect. I'm so excited to finish the rest of the room, but for now it's so nice to not be in a boring room. And as a happy bonus it's almost the same color as the very first room my husband and I had at our first apartment together!<br /><br />Thanks for all your inspiration!<br />-Carin<br /><br />P.S. If you get a chance, visit my blog. I'm leading up to the reveal of my daughter's room which was a huge project for us. <br /><br />ducksinpurple.blogspot.comCarinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09464798659655384505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-75930758499512722142012-04-12T14:21:45.031-05:002012-04-12T14:21:45.031-05:00I have been trying to find a light gray and curren...I have been trying to find a light gray and currently have tried 9 different paint samples. Our room has very little natural light and most blue/grays look very blue. The current front runner looks almost white on the paint chip.

It actually wasn't my paint job originally... my husband has a habit of getting bored and deciding to make big changes. One day when I was at work he painted our then spare room with some leftover paint from my parents' house. A rich, deep dark blue.<br /><br />I love the colour, but now that I work from home the dark colour in a room that gets very little natural light throughout the day is really not working. Another point against keeping it is that he used the last of it, and since it's been rearranged so often there are a lot of chips and dings in the paint now, so getting paint mixed to the exact right shade for touch ups could be tricky.<br /><br />On the plus side, working from home SHOULD mean no more surprise paint jobs... unless I need to go on a business trip!<br /><br />That type of grey with a hint of blue looks really lovely, I'll have to keep that in mind when I eventually decide what I want to do!Chrissiehttp://www.fearninckxrising.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-4320284562071741182012-04-11T07:05:16.948-05:002012-04-11T07:05:16.948-05:00I like the blue in the first photo, but I can see ...I like the blue in the first photo, but I can see that it got a bit too dark in certain lighting in the other photo.

So many inspiring ideas - thank you for sharing :-) I just wanted to comment b/c I have been there with the paint oops. Our living room was a beautiful yellow - until we painted the room that opens up to it and suddenly it was pastel baby yellow against the new color. So we had to repaint the living room 2 months after painting it the first time. Should've thought through all the color choices rather than jumping in one room at a time.

We are also updating our downstairs area into a playroom. I loved the color of your room, so I drove to multiple stores and eventually a half hour away to find the exact shade in Behr paint. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was too blue for our space too and ended up choosing (you guessed it!) Behr's reflecting pool! I'm waiting for carpeting and laminate flooring to go in so I can decorate! Thanks for sharing your paint re-evaluations.
