I've been spending morning coffee hour looking at paint colors for the next upcoming rooms/hallway. It's not easy for sure. I may buy samples again, as the color is never the same on the paint chip as it is on the wall. Lighting can also change the color in a room or hallway.
By looking them up online first, it saves me a lot of him-hawing time at the hardware store. It also helps me visualize the room/trim etc.
I've also been pretty regular at devoting a few days a week to load any useable digital coupons from two stores, but thinking about starting up digital with a third. The way things are going, any savings helps these days.
Boring post today folks.

You are definitely right about paint colors. Way back a long time ago in the 80s, I painted my townhouse living room. I kept chanting, “It’s going to dry lighter. It’s going to dry lighter.” I had a pepto bismal colored living room for a long time. Weeks after the paint dried I went to a party where their living room was painted the color I was aiming for. It had peach in it too which made it kind of like the inside of a shell.
Anyway, I learned my lesson. When I wanted to paint the dining room a light grey with white trim, I asked for help at the paint store. I was told you don’t want that color (the one I was holding), it has too much brown in it. What?! They got the proper sample and with the two side by side I could see it. I needed the one with more blue tones in it.
