FRUGAL LIVING IN COLUMBUS,OHIO Frugal living is a lifestyle that involves careful planning and spending as well as avoiding waste. It's not about being cheap; it's really about being practical and making the most of available resources through various methods of saving money, reusing existing items instead of buying new ones, and finding bargains and good deals. The premise is that a person shouldn't pay more for something if he or she doesn't have to.

I am still having a hard time choosing a paint
color for our living room, dining room and
hallway areas. While I am ready to go beyond
my comfort zone of typical wall colors
it scares me to pick one and it not be the color
I like. I have been to a couple stores and picked
out some paint chips. I don't like any of them
under the lighting in our home. I am looking
for a toned down yellow that is not too light,
too bright or too dark. I've looked at Valspar,
Sherwin Williams, Olympic and so on. So what do I
do to find the right color that will look good?
Maybe I could find an object with the color I like
and they could color match it. Even then those
colors don't come out right. I'm at a loss here
and would like to bring home my new sofa soon
but would like to have the living room and other
areas painted before doing so. AHHHHHH!!!
