Sampling paint

TT Button newWelcome once again to Transformation Thursday! It's the one day of the week we all get together to celebrate getting stuff done. No matter if you've been coming around for quite a while or this is your first time, everyone is welcome to share their projects, big or small. Just link up at the bottom of this post.blog photos 069 Have you seen the free paint samples from Valspar? They are giving away 1,000 paint sample kits a day for 100 days. The best time to try is right when they start each morning (that’s how I got in.) My Fed Ex guy brought it early last week, and I was so excited to get it! The kit comes with a sample of your choice of paint color, a roller, a replacement cover, and two paint trays. You’re ready to go straight out of the box – sweet!blog photos 073 But, if you give a girl a paint sample, she’s gonna wanna use it. My way too tan laundry room has been begging for new paint ever since I used oops paint to do it over 2 years ago. I thought this pretty shade of aqua, called Weathered Glass might do the trick. I’m going to leave it a couple of days, just to make sure before I go at it full steam. Maybe I might have a fresh room to share next week…. maybe :)

Oh! And before you run off, make sure to stop by Amanda’s Party this week – it’s full of Cricut/Silhouette ideas!
