If you have a wife that is somewhat colorblind…
Then you might not want to put her in charge of picking out paint samples…
If she picks out a paint that she thinks is white…
Then you might want to check and see if it has a blue tint to it…
If she starts to paint the walls and…
Then the paint begins to definitely look more blue than white and definitely more blue than she was wanting…
If she is rather disgusted with the paint and her paint choosing abilities…
Then you can haul the white-blue paint back to the lumber yard and the lumber yard employee will very nicely tint and change the paint to more of a gray than a blue…
If you haul the paint back to the lumber yard and the employee changes it…
Then she will be very happy…
And if she starts painting again and still doesn’t like it…
Then the very nice employee at the lumber yard said to just bring it back and he will work with it again…
One thing about life… When there are “If’s” in life the “Then’s” usually follow…
What kind of If/Then experience have you had recently?!

Oh NO!!! I knew I should have come out to help you paint! I totally forgot about the color blind issue:( Bummer. Hope you get it figured out. Just to try to make you feel better – I remember Abby from The Blissful saying they painted the walls of her shop FOUR times before she was happy with them. And I think she meant they did the whole shop four times. White can be very tricky, especially if it is on the grey side. It changes so much with lighting. Keep at it you will get it. They can do so much messing with it these days.
Miss Mustard Seed said she gets a paint chip she likes and then asks them to mix it at 50 or 25 percent lighter. And it’s not the same to just go lighter on the paint sample. I found that tip interesting!
I will be heading back with the paint I bought for the sewing room. I didn’t like it as well as I thought I would on the wall and Travis really didn’t like it. So we used the same as the rest of the downstairs. Now I want to use the pink for the little girls room but I still think it’s too pink. So I will see what they can do for me!
My biggest if/then right now is: IF I have to endure theses cold winter days, THEN I am so happy it’s only 75 days till april!!!!!
