... to buy some samples of paint based on your previous suggestions. I will update with pics!
I came back with 22 samples, and per one commenter's previous suggestion, talked to Ashley at Sherwin Williams. You were right -- she was great! When I've requested a million samples at other paint stores or big box stores, I usually got some amount of attitude, like what I was asking for was the biggest headache in the universe. (And maybe it is, but since you work in a paint store...)
I dropped off my requests (nearly everything was from things y'all suggested -- you know me well), including some things that needed to be matched from other paint brands. It was no problem for them, and when I stopped back 30 mn later, they had everything all boxed up and labeled neatly, and helped me to my car.
I can't wait to change and get some of these samples on the walls!
