Since we bought this house, I've become a huge believer in paint samples.
Lots of them.
lots. of. them.
So many that the guy at the hardware store laughs when you walk in the door. Ah-gain.
Picking a minty color isn't anywhere near as trying as gray was, but I'm still glad I laid down the $20 to figure out which color I really love most {'cause, it turns out, the color I would have bought if I hadn't done any samples turned out to be my very least favorite of them all, ahem cremedemint}.
The colors are all a little wonky with the lighting when I took that picture, but you get it. Peridot has just the right balance of whu-bam and ahhh. Figuring out the right color makes me feel much more motivated to get in the bathroom and patch up the walls so I can paint!
{sea glass by glidden. marina bay + creme de mint by benjamin moore. peridot, spring stream, + herbal mist by behr. see my bathroom inspiration gallery here.}
Love the peridot - that's what I chose as a favorite before I even read the text of your post!
ReplyDeletePeridot was my favorite too. Can't wait to see more of your remodeling!
ReplyDeleteI thought you were going to ask for opinions and my initial thought was that peridot was my favorite. Great choice! :D
ReplyDeleteDitto! To what you and all the others have said. And yes, I chose it BEFORE I completed the reading. Makes me feel somewhat..."in"
ReplyDeleteGreat colors. I favor the Behr colors you've chosen, too. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Better yet...save it for T. He'll do it for you!
ReplyDeleteI like "Herbal Mist" myself. Can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeletebefore I read far enough down I had picked Peridot as my favorite! Good choice, it's pretty!
