Not in my world. Just the name of the paint swatch pops up. No number. Hence the frustration.

Yes, I am very frustrated by this...incredibly! I have chewed all my fingernails off over this.

when you click on the link, then click on "find color" it brings up the color visualizer. that's the whole swatches of colors. click on a color and look in the lower left corner where it says "coordinating color scheme", it gives the color # and name there and colors that go with it!

also, you can then grab your color from the "coordinating color scheme" and drag to the right in the color file, and print them out by clicking on the print button

Sometimes you have to do step by step. I know sometimes I need it.

I am thinking ahead to colors for my bedroom. I just have to get DH out of the house because he only likes "White Walls".

I hate all white. I have vaulted ceilings in my bedroom and I want to paint them too. Landi, I want to use a cool color. My carpet is green. Should I go with something green? Advise. As soon as the room is clean, I'll take pics, too. I want it to look very classy, but comfortable. I know I need a headboard, BADLY.

Yeah, its a mess, too. You know how clean my living room and kitchen looked? Guess where all the crap is? Toys, shoes, clothes, just STUFF! I will do it today, though and you can give me suggestions. It's really bad. THe trim, like I told you is blood red. I don't know why.

Keep in mind that we are on a tight budget too, so buying a ton of new stuff is really out. Besides, I am looking forward to getting "Finds" here and there at second hand shops, antique store's etc. There are horrible wh*re house looking lace drapes (there when we moved in). Oy, just thinking about it has me boggled.

Are you doing the painting yourself? That is quite a big job. The thing about decorating is once you start on one room, you get the itch for others and then before you know it ....where did all that money go, lol. I did that last year, painted my sons room and next thing you know the whole place was painted and then I kept going, redecorating kitchen.

Its fun but the cost does run up. Overstock is great for sheets, comforters, etc.

Yes, I will do the painting. I am an old pro. DH and I did my living room and dining room. It took one day.

Painting is the easiest way to spruce up a room on a very limited budget. I can get the paint for the room for $40. It's a start. The kitchen is next on the list, but it will be easy to paint with barely any taping. I can do that myself. DD1's room is done. It's gray blue half way up the wall and light blue the rest of the way. It's separated by this really cute horse boarder. I know boarder's are out, but her entire room is horses, and it really finished it off. I need to get some burlap and make her drapes. That should be easy. DD2's room will be the last on the list. I don't know what we are going to do yet, but I am thinking sea green with white bead board, chair rail and pink to accent. Very girly. She is my princess. Her furniture in there is dark cherry. DD1's is light pine.

Wow, Maris, you are right. Listen to me. Whatever color I paint my kitchen I am also going to paint my bathroom and hallway that are adjacent to the kitchen. That ought to tie nicely.

You know, I don't want to paint dar, but burgundy looks so good with my dark couches and light tan paint and brown drapes. Argh. I am afraid a burgundy kitchen would effect my mood too much. I get stressed in the kitchen enough as it is. (Came home yesterday and DH was doing the dishes, ah, that helps, I love him)

Still leaning toward green though.

I had to hire someone to do my painting which of course added to the cost. I bought the paint at home depot though and saved money there. When I gave him my paint for the kitchen, he looked at me like I was crazy and it ended up being really gorgeous. I also got my kitchen tiles at home depot too, saved a lot of money there and I luckily got my kitchen set on sale at 60% off.

Find those bargains when you can.
