Free Paint

So as you all know I am obsessed with the paint colors for my house. I am trying to be smart about my choices. I want the down stairs to flow. Check out what I just found!

Glidden is having a National Paint Giveaway! You can get a free quart of eggshell paint in your choice of color. You must order by July 2nd and it is while supplies last.

So I call up my sister (and wake her up) so we can chat about potential colors. I then spend a crazy amount of time browsing these paint choices.

The room we will do next is the kitchen. This has been in the works since we moved in. I have done three different color samples for the kitchen. I thought I was sold on a color but we have some gift cards to Home Depot, so I figured I could try to find a comparable color.

These are the two choices for the kitchen. We will *probably* go with a light shade, but I threw in the guacamole just to compare it (and because I like it too).



Then we move onto the small hallway, it connects four rooms. The kitchen, living room, office and bathroom. So I want it to be neutral and go with the kitchen and living room colors. I have trouble with neutrals, I need to get some actual color swatches because things always look different on the monitors, especially with all the undertones.



Finally we have the living room. I have three big color swatches up on the wall right now. I am pretty sure two of them are below. I know them as numbers and they all look so similar so it was hard to tell. My husband likes the darker color.



So what do you all think? Do these go together or am I nuts. I think my eyes are glazed over and can't really tell what is what anymore. What I need to do is finally make myself wash the kitchen walls and prime them. But I am lazy and don't want to move all the crap off the counters. Let's not dwell on the fact that my kitchen is always full of clutter as it is the most used room in the house. I promise to pick a color soon and get this paint on the walls so I can stop talking about paint. We really want to have a party with all our friends and family in August, so that is my finish line.
