I'm also thinking about painting my kitchen cabinets because they're fake-wood and kind of...boring. So was thinking of painting them stark white with red accents, but... first the floor needs to be redone.

Yes, I got about 10 different samples (gray is such a tricky color). I didn't have any trouble with unmixed paint, however. My complaint is that those little sample containers are still too small. A pint is way more than I would ever want to use as a sample, but oh well. I am lucky to live near a lovely old fashioned hardware store where the employees are still friendly and helpful, so I'm sure that if I did have a problem, I could go back there and ask them to remix. If I were you, I would probably go back and get a new sample or ask them to remix. Did you get it from a hardware store or an actual Benjamin Moore paint store? At our local hardware store, they have the cans right there and you watch them mix the drops of color into the blank white paint. Then they open the can right in front of you, so you can say whether you like the color or not. Good luck with your painting project!CGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05256456742503046710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354528689599607554.post-2933353241555248722015-06-13T21:11:21.753-04:002015-06-13T21:11:21.753-04:00So funny - I am WIP on a paint job too and am tryi...So funny - I am WIP on a paint job too and am trying Benjamin Moore paint (Robin's Nest) for the first time, mostly because I am copying something I saw on a blog. I have to ask, did you get the sample size paint? We did, and it was not mixed up at all. Not even a little bit. And now, even though we love the color for the room, we're concerned about buying a whole can...<br /><br />Hope this isn't too off topic, but the timing is great!! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354528689599607554.post-75414389526405926092015-06-13T13:51:39.103-04:002015-06-13T13:51:39.103-04:00You know, I haven't read North and South!
