The great paint dilemma has been solved. You know I wasn't 100% sold on the color I picked, but there just wasn't a large selection. Well, the painters came today to start painting the trim and doors, so I again spoke with C. I'm going with a SW blue color-matched to the other line. Normally I'm not a fan of color matching, but C guaranteed the color so I'm okay with it. I don't know how well the photos translate, but the color is Honest Blue. It's smokier, a lot lighter (but not so light that it'll be washed out) and much more versatile.
This is the sample board I painted.
The painters worked on the doors and trim, and started wrapping the spindles on the banister. I hope this means they're staining it tomorrow. Can't wait to see how it turns out! They'll be back tomorrow, to finish up and possibly paint a room or two. Stay tuned!
Would you mind sharing how much the painter charged to do other colors? You can email me through the Google friend list if you don't want to post it here. I wasn't impressed with the Signature series paint choices either. We picked the dark beige/tan for the whole house.
ReplyDeleteOur new appraisal came back perfect, so we should be digging soon!

That's one number I'm not going to share because I negotiated. That number is going to be completely different for everyone based on your painter, sq. footage of your house, brand of paint and number of colors used. I will say that we could have painted ourselves for less money. However, when I took into account the time and effort it would have taken, as well as our skill level and patience (almost none), it was a great deal for us.
