I found your blog because I was looking for pictures of kitchens with similar colors to what I am looking for. Wow, I have to say it is hard to find a color that looks the way you want it too after you paint it on. I am finding that I love the colors on the chips, but hate them on the walls!

I agree that the paint chip does not give you a good idea of what it will look like on the wall.

I do think this green isDianne Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17241435594133612264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5676463171601367965.post-80887635380944764422010-05-20T09:08:13.190-04:002010-05-20T09:08:13.190-04:00Dianne, it's amazing how the color looks on yo...Dianne, it's amazing how the color looks on your wall versus the swatch.

Your hard work paid off and I'm sure you feel it was worth the wait!<BR/>As much of a fan of toile as I am, I think that might be a little too formal for the fun room that is.
