PAINT CHIP STRIPS & “Grounded In Tangiers!"

PAINT CHIP STRIPS & “Grounded In Tangiers!" What? Well, THIS decorator’s paint tips about paint chips are: DON”T EAT ‘EM!” They won't make you more colorful. PIMP LOL. No! My tip? Don’t be afraid to think out of the box. Or, in this situation? Out of the bucket! Or off the paint chip strip. Go ahead and be daring and choose your own style and colors. Even if it is on 2 different Store Decorator Paint Chip Strips. Go ahead and paint the town. The way you want. Well, at least your house. That’ll keep the neighbors at bay. Or, at Port. What? We do live in “Port St. John”! Okay, off to have band practice, then paint, caulk, etc., and eat chips. Not the paint chips. Yep! Doing the house up right. If ya can’t pay someone to do it right? You’re left with doing it yourself. So, do it up right! Oh! And, the photos show the hideous blue and yellow we were toying with until we saw it on the house. The photos don’t do the 2 we finally chose and got a great deal on the best paint. chocolate brown color called “Grounded” nor the trim called “Tangiers” justice. Plus the white makes it look funky. When it’s all painted and no white, it will be exotically funky. Are we gonna love it when it's all done? It is written in stone. Well, in Stucco. We're gonna love it. PIMP LOL. It’s not the big farmhouse or river house or Victorian I dreamed of having by now, but it’s ours. That’s enough for this life. And, you know my saying: Sometimes you gotta get dirty to stay grounded? Well, when I found my chocolate brown paint and it was called “Grounded”, I just knew. I wanted an antique looking rosey trim with a touch of manliness and found the “Tangiers” color. So, our house is called “Grounded” in “Tangiers”. Though, you guys all know what we’re grounded in… And, in keepin' with the last story and post and photo? LlOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AND THEIR PAINT! Signed, grounded and making the best of it by making it funky and exotically unique, Decorator Trace
