Staring at Swatches

     



This is what I’ve spent way too much time this week doing.

It’s almost pointless to post pictures of the paint samples on the wall because the colors always change in photos.  But, I went to Sherwin Williams over the weekend and got three paint samples for a possible living room/entry & hallway/kitchen combo. 


I’ve become attached to this entire color card, and am thinking of using it throughout most of the house for a nice flow:

Here are the three samples I started with, and what I’m considering doing with them:

I’m hoping to get the living room nailed down first and move on to the other areas.  So far, “Amazing Gray” seems to be pretty amazing, and has gotten the approval of my 6-year-old assistant.  Here’s how the color looks in some other spaces:

And, since we’re on the subject of paint (Sherwin-Williams specifically), I received an email saying they’re having a 40% off sale on all of their paints and stains this weekend.  So, if you have an upcoming project (and SW store close by), this is a great time to start—or at least buy your paint.
