So I mentioned yesterday that the paint I chose was way too yellow. Well, I thought I’d give you a visual representation of the difference from what I wanted and what I purchased.
So here is the Martha Stewart Paint called ‘Popcorn’ that I asked for…

And here’s the actual colour that I purchased (the only photo that google would show me)… in store, I thought to myself, that looks a little too yellow, but I figured it would dry lighter, etc. etc… I was wrong!
Alec and I went to Home Depot tonight to see what they’d do about the mistake, since the colour I bought is clearly not what I asked for, and sure enough – instead of giving me Martha Stewart’s Popcorn, I was given Behr’s Popcorn Ball. I very golden yellow instead of a warm white. Hmm. After some convincing, they refunded the first can and we tried again. Success! It’s white this time around.
We’ve already put a coat or two on and it looks great. xo
Our heads are overflowing with ideas for improvements to our first home and trying to make it all work with a small budget.
