In-Decisive is my middle name...

I think that's truly a fact...when my parents named me, they should have named me Tammy Indecisive Schaber, instead of Tammy Jo :D It's been over a year now that we've had paint swatches stuck to our wall. And, finally I have a totally free weekend to finally tackle that project. So, last night, I went to Ace, got a few more samples, (just to make sure..in case there's some new color out there waiting for me :D)

This morning, I taped those new samples everywhere...up, down, by the molding, next to the carpet, by the sofa, the chair, the prints on the walls, etc....finaly, after much deliberation...I chose ONE! (Okay two...but, I was pretty sure I could narrow it down by the time I drove the ten minutes into town). Once in the store, still not quite there, so the sales lady holds them both up and I point to one! Yeahhh...I did it!!!

I get a few supplies, my paint, and head home to tackle my weekend project! First, of course, I have to wipe down the wall...where oh where does all that dust, dirt, & cobwebs come from??? Next, I open the paint...Mmmmm...looks a little more yellow than I thought....put a little on...More Yellow...do a 2 ft. section...definitely a LOT MORE YELLOW than I wanted. Oops! I don't like the color..and I've bought two gallons...and, Now what??? The problem is...I can see the color I want clearly in my head... I just can't seem to find it in a paint swatch???? So, back to Ace I head...this time deciding maybe I need to go more in the neutral, earthtone shades...More samples, More tapings here & there...More looking...pondering....Mmmm...could this be the beginning of another year of just deciding????

Oh, and the Yellow wall...Definitely COULD NOT look at that for another year...so, it's back to it's safe Ivory color...waiting too...to see what Miss Indecisive will finally decide upon! So, if there is anyone out there in need of some YELLOW (acutally it's name is Honeywheat) paint, just give me a call...and it's yours!!! May God fill each of your weekends with some fun projects...and, May you feel His warmth surrounding you as Fall is settling in! Sweet blessings!
