Dear Paint Company,

Hi. I am writing to let you know that choosing paint colors for my new house is utterly mind numbly. My parents literally dive behind couches when they see me coming near them with swatches to compare and have already hidden all the tape dispensers in the house so that I can't tape various colors up on the wall 'just to see'. From now on if you could just offer five colors, that'd be super.

Sincerly,
Crazed paint fanatic

OMG!!!! I feel the same way!!!! WAYYY to many options to chose from and I FH and I get figure out which colors to pick. I wish there was a paint fairy that came and picked the colors for us!

Re: Dear Paint Company,

OMG, I can totally relate!! We are doing the same thing in our house right now, and it's enough to send me to the crazy house! I mean really...how many different shades of olive green can there be???

Re: Dear Paint Company,

Oh it only gets better. I went thru the same thing last year with our house. AND NOW for the last year I seem to say at least once a week, MMMM, I wonder if that 'other' color would have looked better. I love my colors now but I do seem to second guess them often.
