Des Colores

For lack of anything better to mull over, we've gone over to paint colors. I wish I could figure out a way to post swatches for you to vote on. Steven says a color designer might be worth the money. He may be right, because I have to say, the longer I look at these colors the more confusing it gets - though this is true of almost all of our other decisions as well.

If you go to the Benjamin Moore website you can type in these color names and see what we're looking at. Cast your vote for the best candidate now (but don't badmouth the ones you don't like - it's bad politics).

• Saybrook Sage
• Camouflage (another word I learned how to spell today)
• Silver Sage
• Moon Shadow
• Cheyanne Green

Yet another way to share in our vision - ah it's so fun to blog! Here are some photos that people posted on Garden Web of their painted rooms, all of which we admired. It may be hard to tell about a color, given that the light, the camera, and your screen are all variables in how it looks.
