3-25-10

Returned to Walmart today to get more paint since
I wasn't happy with the paint color I picked out
yesterday as it was too yellow.
Today I went with more of a warm golden, yellow.
I found out you cannot return paint once you
have it colored and buy it. Bummer!
But I do have a plan for 2 gallons of the other
yellow paint. I'll use that to paint the
basement walls (drywall) to make it
less dreary down there. I want to make
it a family playroom down there so the color
should be appropriate.

I don't know a whole lot about buying paint.
I had assumed if you chose a color chip from
a certain maker you had to buy that kind of
paint. Not true. The color chip I chose
was from Dutch Boy paint. But I could use
Walmart white paint to have it mixed.
That was great because Walmart paint is
$12.83 a gallon and Dutch Boy is $20 a gallon.

Anyway the golden yellow I got today closely
resembles this flower
