I've tried looking in the Behr line because their paint goes on so well, but their colors are very limited. Anyway, I feel your pain!Jessrose21https://www.blogger.com/profile/06999510700481299834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533765000132097309.post-68425400484308646402009-06-26T13:10:28.822-07:002009-06-26T13:10:28.822-07:00I SO understand.

The closest I've come is Tracey's robin's egg blue (Tracey of "A Cottage Industry"). She has her recipe for the paint in her blog archives. It's just a little too gray for me, but I do adore it. We painted the master bedroom mocha and I love it, but I'm still in search of the "not quite aqua, not quite white, not quite green" color of which I believe you speak! Good luck, hope you've "got it" this time!<br /><br />SheilaJournal Swaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361580736188854334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533765000132097309.post-26479298377541868252009-06-26T07:57:30.626-07:002009-06-26T07:57:30.626-07:00After you put it on...and it still isn't quite...After you put it on...and it still isn't quite what you want...you might want to try glazing a bit of antiqueing on it with damp rags. I have a feeling that it is the "flat" look of one color that you don't like,I'm just think'n you would like it to be an "aged" color. You might want to get a board and paint it when you paint the room, then you can play with the board 'till you get what you want.Charmingdesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575363077109065288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533765000132097309.post-34068199594582728102009-06-25T23:14:52.869-07:002009-06-25T23:14:52.869-07:00Oh yeah its just paint, but what a hassle putting ...Oh yeah its just paint, but what a hassle putting it where it goes.... The easy part is picking it out.. Just messing with you! I'm sure it will be a fantastic experience, much like when I paint! The real truth is whatever the cost it is worth it! Once it is all put together, you wonder what the big deal was! <br />Good luck, best wishes, have fun!<br />JOY!Auntie Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17189405291793195010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533765000132097309.post-6550375342869743332009-06-25T22:04:34.089-07:002009-06-25T22:04:34.089-07:00Oh Martha,

What we see in our minds eye, and what comes out of the can never quite seem to be the same.<br /><br />I usually find that after all my hemming and hawing and indecisiveness, several of the colors would have been fine in the long run. Especially when all the decor, (which will probably be several various shades of what you like) are up and the room is complete.<br /><br />Anxious to see how it turns out.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Barbara JeanBarbara Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740517393541058936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533765000132097309.post-37257868463100963032009-06-25T21:27:54.268-07:002009-06-25T21:27:54.268-07:00Miss Martha!
