Color Calamity

I am dying on the alter of color conundrum!  I have gone through 8 little tester pots and outta  pocket over $40 for my dining room makeover.  I know in my “head” what I want but I cant seem to get it to translate onto my walls.  Im looking for a blue/green/grey look.  Not too light, not too dark.  I dont want it to look like a bathroom but still have a “spa” blue/sea green look.  Ya know?  Im going batty people, sheer analyzed until Im paralyzed.  Here’s what I’ve narrowed down to from left to right.  Benjamin Moore’s Wythe Blue, BM’s Wedgewood Grey, BM’s Covington blue and my own creation in the upper right hand corner (mixing my acrylic paints).  Note this room gets some light but not direct light-so it can be on the darker side more times than not.  HALP! 

and here it is in another light (see the colors change)

Baby steps

Slowly working on the guest bedroom/craft room makeover.  Its not really a make over but more of a cleanupthiscrap room.  Here’s where it started.  And I must be honest this is AFTER I threw out 3 trash bags of junk and cleared the floor so I could see it.

And then the inspiration- this $25 chandy from Hobby Lobby!

Add a little black & white damask table cloths and you’ve got curtains baby!! hemmed & all!

More to come!  I’ve got a mirror to spray paint, knobs to buy, boxes, bins, baubles, oh my!  Trying to take my time on this one and not get ahead of myself.  I always want things YESTERDAY!  Until then!  Have a great weekend!! I know I am-its ALL day shopping with my sisters Sarah & LaLa at the outlet mall- WITHOUT children- Praise Jesus!
