My plan calls for going through every single item and weeding out before I put anything back in. Ambitious, I know! But, the organizing gurus tell us that if it hasn't been worn in the past year, it really must go. And, so, I am setting my sights on putting back less than I take out. We shall see how I do on that.....
Now, if I could just settle on the shade of "white" I want to paint the shelf we are going to build for the kitchen/dining area.....
There about a million choices when it comes to "white" and I am sure struggling with this decision. Look at all these paint chips I picked up the other day when trying to decide what shade to paint the corner hutch and soon-to-be-constructed shelf....

| Okay, I know there are some "khaki" shades in there....not white, at all....but so very pretty (perhaps I can work that color in somewhere else in the house???) |
I have narrowed it down to these choices.......
 |
| Looking at this photo, I can see that "cottage linen" is nearly the exact same shade this piece was already painted.... |
Hope to post some photos of the closet project, before/in progress/after, over the weekend....so stay tuned!
That's a huge undertaking! I vote for the nice clean white. I was just telling Hubby last night that I would like shelving built in the spare bedroom closet, the one I use for my office/craft room. I had them built at our last house and I loved them. I can't wait to see how it all turns out.
ReplyDeleteCleaning out closets is no fun, but you'll be glad you purged things. I like the cafe cream. It's the same depth of color that the piece is currently painted with, but with a warmer hue. Let us know how it turns out.

Wedding bells or cafe cream might work. I always tend to with the same colors - I think we are do that to a certain degree. We just went through this trying to find a white for our kitchen/family room ceiling. I ended up going with a true white. There are so many choices! My closets received a spring cleaning several weeks ago however they are in need of a structural over-hall. A friend of mine had hers done and was pricey! DIY is always best- good luck!

Choosing paint colours can be such a long and arduous exercise but once you have *found* your colours and get to painting all the time taken to pick just the perfect colour was worth it. Have fun with the project.
