Oh how did I hem and haw and drive your Dad nuts about the color to paint your room! I started off thinking we'd go with a nice pale neutral with a "hint" of color. So I happened upon Valspar's site and they were running a 1k samples a day in 100 days for free. So I selected a pale cream with a hint of pink and had it sent to me. Unfortunately it was only one sample per household....little did that stop me! Another sample went to Auntie Kristine's house, a third went to work, and another to Grandma's. Sadly I didn't care for any of those choices; back to the drawing board. The next color choice process went something like this baby girl = pink room. So off to Lowe's I went and stared and stared at the paint strips. Finally narrowed it down to a darker pink and a lighter pink and left with two samples which Daddy put swatches of on the wall. Sadly I didn't care for any of those choices; back to the drawing board. Back to Lowe's I went with the color choice of green since pink and light celery green are complementary colors. Finally narrowed it down to a darker green and a lighter green and left with two samples which Daddy put swatches of on the wall. Sadly I didn't care for any of those choices; back to the drawing board. (Are you seeing my issue which is becoming a trend here?) With Daddy's artistic eye in tow back Lowe's we went. I think the total number of trips was three times in four days; what I can I say I'm indecisive! Taking a deep breath and saying yes I went along with the color Daddy picked - Paris Mist and it turned out beautifully!
