Day 24: Numbers

So I've been thinking of a color to paint my guest bathroom for weeks now. I want a darkish (but not too dark) tan (maybe with a hint of gray) color so I can put some colorful accents in there. Is it the paint companies' goal to make this process as difficult as possible?? I mean, is there a big office building somewhere where paint company execs are sitting around in their suits and sipping on Smart Water while having a good laugh over the frustration of their consumers?!

Look how many paint swatches I have here. I have been holding them up to my wall for weeks now trying to decide on the perfect not-too-dark-tan-with-possibly-a-grayish-hue. I finally FINALLY chose one, bought a gallon, and excitedly started painting at 11:00pm. I was too anxious to wait until the next day. I painted a big patch on my wall only to step back and decide that I hate it. It's all wrong. I don't see any tan in the color, and in fact, it actually looks purple. Ugh! Plus it's too light too. So I guess another trip to the hardware store is in my cards for today. Well played, paint execs. Well played.
