White Paint

Yesterday I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to match a white-ish colour swatch from multiple paint companies with the Ferm Living Bindweed wallpaper. Seriously, half an hour later, having looked at paint swatches that were too blue, too green, too yellow and too red, I made away with THE ONE. Or at least I hope that it is THE ONE.

What I really like about Randall's (and they really need to make their website cooler! It's embarrassing...) that they have all C2 colours in larger swatches, of about 24" by 24". The larger swatches really give you a true feel for the colour (and you can even borrow them to take home). I chose C2 LOVO eggshell colour called: sheer. Of course the online C2 "sample" (if you can even call it that) is horrendous, so you'll just have to trust me on this one. It is a lovely white with warm gray undertones. Yes, sounds absolutely contradictory. Yet, I hope it will work. I really do.

We haven't done anything since taking our closet apart. Hubby's in the home stretch for 2 of his MBA courses and, really, how much manual labour can I do on my own?? with a toddler in tow? NOT MUCH.

Hopefully this weekend will see some much needed progress. Until than, I leave you with this image I found this morning. At least white is easier to repaint if I don't like it :)
