I want to paint everything in the house semi-gloss navaho white and the wife hates that. But its easy to remember.

About 10 years age she watched too many of those house-fix-it up and flip shows and decided she was gonna paint the front room, hall-way, and front bath a custom color.
I didn't want any part of it so she and her mom painted and I remember saying, don't just stick that can of paint in the garage, write down what it's for and keep a record of what color you bought.

yeah right.

So last week she decided it was time for me to touch up a few spots here and there. Dings, holes from re-arranged pictures, etc.

I found the right can of paint even though it weren't marked.
But it had dried up and the color-code on the lid had faded and wasn't readable.

I asked her if she ever wrote down the details of that custom color. Yeah right.
So I had home despot try to match it up.

it looked good when wet, but dried too dark. And the stuff on the walls seemed like flat but after i realized she has used eggshell. So the walls look like a leopard now.
Guess what I'm going to be doing tomorrow?
