Default Stampin' Up paint!?

I just painted my living room with Stampin' Up colors Really Rust and Creamy Caramel. I just went to my local home center and had them color match my card stock. They matched perfectly. My finance' said I should paint the other rooms in stampin' up colors too. I wasn't even sure he would like it! I thought you all my enjoy.

Happy Stampin'

I wish I had thought to take cardstock to the paint store. I just painted our bedroom in colors similar to Chocolate Chip and Blue Bliss. Inspired by the paper from the summer catalogue.

It would have been eaiser to bring cardstock when I was picking out my paint, I don't know why I didn't think about that, instead I was trying to match paint chips to my 2yo daughter's mellow moss pants . . . I liked the result though.

That's so funny! We built our house last year, and I even had the builders describing our kitchen as really rust which flows nicely into the chocolate chip family room and simply saffron living room. Oh, and then there's the sage dining room.. The builder was always making fun of me for using cardstock to pick my colors, but his wife came over last week to look at my cardstock.

A piece of cardstock certainly makes a bigger swatch when you hang it on the wall to see how the color works! Great idea.:mrgreen:

We're moving into a new house in about a month or so. I'm going to be using the loft as my craft room. I told DH that I wanted to paint it soon after moving in, but I don't know what color(s) to paint it. I bet creamy caramel looks gorgeous! Hmmmm....off to look at my cardstock for options.

I should've posted this in my other post, but does anyone have a creamy caramel bedroom? I'm just wondering how it would look in a bedroom.

I was surprised how dark cream caramel turned out. I just love it but it was a little darker than expected. My living room isn't a "great room" but a larger older home living room and it did close it in a bit. If your room isn't very big you may want to go a little lighter. I also painted the ceiling the same color.

Happy Stampin'

TY for the info. Our new bedroom is going to be a bit small. TY for letting me know how it'd look before I painted it and decided I didn't like it.
