Is the Restoration paint anything special? My fear, even though they said it's a quick turn over, is that the paint has been sitting unmixed for a prolonged period of time.Īgain, thank you so much for sharing.
I'm not sure how many cans to buy and I would hate to run out mid project. The closest US match is Crisp Khaki (93 match). I had this same question and from what i can tell, the closet BM match is Hemp Seed (98 match).but then i found out this color is available in Canada only. As much as I want to drive an hour back to the store to buy the paint I think I'm going to have it color matched. Just bring a chip of the latte into the BM store and have them custom match it for you. The last room will be my huge living room where I'll be using the Slate color. I'm doing chocolate in the bedroom (staying with relaxed colors) and a deep dark royal blue in the bathroom (hey, I need one room to mix it up). I could have easily done my bathroom and bedroom with one of the colors from your swatches. I did my dining room and kitchen in Fashion gray thanks to you, and I couldn't be happier. I took the swatch home and that's when I found your site. I walked in to Restoration and immediately fell in love with the Slate they used to paint the entire store. I was in the process of color shopping to redo my entire condo and after going through color after color, I almost gave up. I have to seriously say thank you for your blog. Home Depot's $4 mini sample jars are perfect for this activity. Even though it looks horrible during the decision making process, I'm a fan of the paint-directly-on-the-walls approach.

You can either paint directly on your walls (hit multiple places in the room so you can get a full perspective of how light affects the color.morning, noon, and night) or you can paint a piece of MDF or foam core board and move that around the room. Therefore, my best advice is to test your favorite swatches using a paint sample. Because of their small size, it's tough to pick up on the nuances of a color judging from a swatch. Lighting completely changes colors and paint swatches are deceiving. Keep in mind that a specific shade will look entirely different from one house to the next. I certainly procrastinated the task, but it's a good feeling to have it done now!Īll formulas are either flat/matte or eggshell. I went through almost every can of paint on the premises, threw the empties out, and filled a few mason jars with touch-up paint and labeled each according to room of the house. My paint organization system needed an overhaul and this little project forced me to do that.
I get lots of emails asking me about our wall colors and I apologize for not sharing this information sooner. Promised long ago, I'm finally delivering the paint tour of our house.
