Cool and collected

I attempted to make my end tables darker, but failed

as you can see. You can read about the drama in this post.

Then the good people at Valspar had a free paint sample giveaway. Choose your own color and all. You have to like them on facebook, but I got in at the end. I believe I heard it is over now. But feel free to double-check. I can't be sure.

So, I chose Sonic Sky

with my poor end tables in mind. I thought at first I might go with a whole distressed thing, but upon the first coat of paint I was loving the clean crispness of the color.

So, I painted one and I'll live with it for a week and then decide to keep it or distress it.

 Next post, I'll explain how I knew a light blue that did not "match" ANY OTHER color in the room would work. It will be color theory 101. Stay tuned...
