Andrea - congratulations on getting the closet done! You sound like a girl after my own heart. I love to keep things streamlined, too. My challenge, of course, is living with a packrat. I've learned I have to control what comes in the door. Once it, it will be a fight to the finish to get it (or something else) to be removed.

Picking out paint color frustrates me. Both Glidden and Sherwin-Williams have pretty good websites. Glidden groups their colors by tone (bright, muted, etc) and Sherwin-Williams will pop up with coordinating colors for any paint you choose. The benjamin moore site will put the color into a sample room arrangement but isn't as good at telling you which tones are similar or what colors coordinate (ie, trim color to go with wall paint). I have spent way too much time on this the past two weeks. Fortunately, the colors we settled on for the front bedroom & bath look just right. The hallway was a lay-up; I just had the painter do the same scheme as the foyer. It is a big improvement. Now let's hope the other two bedroom colors work as well. That would be a home run, indeed!

Still waiting anxiously to appreciate the blondmaker's skill! cheers, Anne
