So the other day I told you about the 6 best paint colors....I won't lie, I went out and bought Rockport Gray immediately for a kitchen I am working on rehabbing right now. I am obsessed.
When I show homes there is always that one "storage closet" or spot where homeowners pile dozens of paint cans with small little drips of paint left in them because they want to remember the colors they used. And then when a buyer writes an offer the homeowner so graciously says. "I will leave ALLLLLLL these for you so you know what we used when we painted!!!" Um...no thanks.
Good thing Martha Stewart is in this world or we may all be doomed. Here is an awesome way to recall all your paint colors without leaving toxic cans in your basement corner to rust and separate and grow who knows what sort of chemical storm up.
Paint Swatch Sticks
Long after the last coats have dried on your new paint
job, you can still have easy access to the color names and numbers for
touch-ups. Save the wooden stirrers you used to mix the paint, let them
dry, and then write the names and numbers of the colors on the ends of
the sticks. Use a length of twine to bundle the sticks by room. Bundling twine, $4 for 525', by Everbilt, from homedepot.com.
