The new Living room
Let me start be showing you the very end result of what has been quite the adventure this week before I begin to tell you what happened...
So, this week I was hosting my scrap group at my house. I figured that now would be the perfect time to touch up the living room wall (a painting had fallen and left some scrapes in the wall). I went to Walmart with my paint chip to get just a small can of paint for touch ups. The man made 3 cans of paint before he felt that he got it right..this should have been my red flag. Because he would not put a dab of paint on the paint chip I had nothing really to compare with, so home I came and put the paint on the needed areas.OH NO!!!! It was nowhere near the same color. I tried to fix it by putting some white and yellow in it, but I simply ended up with a huge darker green circle on the main wall in my living room. Did I mention that I lost the paint chip at Walmart..no problem right, just go and get another paint chip. Wrong-the paint chip was 2 years old, and the store I got it from doesn't sell that brand anymore. So, we chose a new color and had to repaint the entire room, which means everything in the room had to change because of our color choice. It was turning out to be an expensive little scraping group LOL!!!! The decorating fanatic inside me didn't really mind so badly. So I will show you the before and after pics of the room....The green is before. I don't have any good before pics of the room

The caramel color is the new room:

I'm no longer allowed to paint. I am too messy. Richard insists on wallpaper now because I can't spill it or track it around the house.... He spoils all my fun.*pout*
