She even picked the perfect shade of yellow for my bathroom in my new house. She has never even been to it. It is in another state. <br /><br />Next time Nate is over for martinis give me a call!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00728830091606947738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205408964265533866.post-54907625695521231332009-09-02T21:09:50.797-05:002009-09-02T21:09:50.797-05:00You know, better than anyone, that I have been the...You know, better than anyone, that I have been there.

I will say that the quality of the paint I've been using is excellent (Benjamin Moore Aura - low VOC and has primer included), but the color on the paint chips has not represented the end color well at all. <br /><br />I'm sure a lot of it also has to do with the pesky library of color chips in my head though. I can obsess about the perfect shade of color for anything. Or a font, oh Lord don't let me get started on font choice... So, really, the problem probably all boils down to me.gertrudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030726373334427250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205408964265533866.post-64314790099862917392009-09-02T09:47:36.884-05:002009-09-02T09:47:36.884-05:00I've never test painted and I've never bee...I've never test painted and I've never been disappointed either.
