Of course, about 3 days after I picked the color, the store got in the sample-sizes of the tint base to mix any color. :P I got the paint at the lumberyard where my dad works and they just got this paint stuff, so it's kind of all new to them. I also borrowed all my friend's beige/brown from her house and tried those first too, and they were all too orange for that room. I've always had trouble in this house with anything in the brown realm because of the strange color of the wood trim and dors. It's nice, but you have to go with an opposite color on the walls because getting something kind of close, but not exact just looks awful. Anyway, Ed & I decided yesterday that maybe we're going to go with a very pale lime green instead. I like color and Ed thinks, and now I agree, that any brown is going to be too dark in that small room with no windows. So, this week it's my goal to find a pale lime green that will work with the towels and such that I have in there! Yikes. What color do you want in your master bed and bath? I used a sea blue - it's very peaceful and I absolutely love it. We have black furniture and a white duvet with a blue & white quilt folded over the end that Ed's mom made for us. The bathroom is an ocean-theme and we really love how it turned out. Took me 13 years to "do" our bedroom, but it was worth the wait! Good luck with yours!Ed / Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11100714343041973935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20376475105239081.post-1546704536017133022009-05-24T05:58:45.072-07:002009-05-24T05:58:45.072-07:00Poor Ed - 30 miles.

Such a fun life you lead - and busy, as well - but so exciting with all the events you get to go to with your girls.<br /><br />Sorry, about the paint job. I know some places allow you to bring sample paint home where you just paint a square of paint on the wall and that way you don't have to buy a gallon of paint and end up not liking it. OR maybe a friend of yours has a brown they painted and you can just choose their color if you like it :) I still have to get to painting our bedroom and master bath one of these days.....Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11395734853162524799noreply@blogger.com
