weighing painting our options

we are in the early stages of finally painting our dining room
and repainting our entryway/stairway

who know picking out 2 colors would be so hard?

well, thank goodness for the invention
of the small $3 can of test paint!!!

i give you our options...

the dining room
all possible options - feeling confused?
us, too!



option 4 isn't really as blue as it looks -
it's more of a greenish blue.
it was actually the paint swatch we've had on the wall
for 2, yes 2, years.
we always thought it looked more green -
a $20 gallon of paint later and we realized we didn't like it
(and the start of buying the $3 can)

another dining room angle
with just the top 3 contenders

yes, the green is a bit much -
but wouldn't it be fun to paint a room
with a color named "gaucho" ??

the front entry way
options 3 is the same as our back entryway
who doesn't love symmetry??



clearly we are never meant to build our own house
can you imagine us picking out paint for an entire house -
all at once???

and in case you're wondering as of today,
our choices are #6 (brown shutter) for the dining room
and #3 (oyster shell) for the entry way

but doesn't gaucho just sound fun?
