Painting Walls with just . . . paint!

I realize that murals aren’t for everyone. Neither are stripes. Or faux finishes.

Most people are content to with walls that have a simple, yet beautiful color on them.

Ah, yes, but choosing that beautiful color can be just a bit challenging, can’t it?

Forget about trying to pick a color for an entire wall – or room! – from a 2” color chip. How about looking at real walls from real homes?

Leave it to a blogger to come up with the perfectly brilliant idea. Yep, Kristin started Favorite Paint Colors a few months ago and it is a fantastic site.

Be prepared. You might spend quite a while on her site.

It’s not just that you’ll see wall after wall of beautiful tints and hues – it’s that they’re on the walls in bloggers’ homes.

It’s like an online Home Tour of bloggers. Only with the shade and brand of the paint they used on their walls.

Once you’ve got your fill of browsing lovely walls, click over to Painting Tips. Here’s the cool thing: Kristin hasn’t written any tips yet. But other bloggers have left tips in the comment section.
