Pallet for Home: Under $100 Linky Party

Under $100 Linky Party

Wednesday, September 26, 2012

Hello folks, and happy fall. Oh my favorite season for sure--and leaves are turning. I must get out this week and get some photos of the fantastic colors. And speaking of colors, I thought I would answer another question, the one I get the most and the one I find the oddest in some way (I have answered this before, but I keep getting it!): What color did you use on...? Why do I find this an odd question? Because I am not sure if the color you are seeing is the real color the item is. I have 3 different electronic devices that I use to look at my blog, and the colors look a a little different on each one. The answer is most of the time, I don't know. I use leftover paint, oops paint, I mix and match colors. Nowadays I use mostly Annie Sloan Chalk Paint on furniture and I do name those colors in my posts. If I do buy paint I tend to buy the Red Seal brand. I will say the best red I have found besides ASCP Emperor's Red (which is better because it only takes 1 coat) is called Red Carriage in the Red Seal brand. If I buy paint, I buy interior latex in an eggshell finish. So there you go--not much help, but my advice is to peruse the paint chips--find colors that you love and use those. Play and have fun! Now for some wonderful links from last weeks party!
