Gravity is my friend! :)
Most decorating blogs that I read tape about 50,000 color samples to the wall to decide which color is best for their room.
I go to Lowe’s and pick out the prettiest sample. I walk away for a few minutes and then come back and pick out another pretty one. It’s usually the same color. I take that color sample to the paint counter, buy a gallon, and head home to paint. It’s a science.
Say good-bye to Macademia and hello to Gravity…..
I tape everything….because I am the world’s messiest painter. I surprisingly didn’t make a mess. Go me! AND….I painted the entire room all by my lonesome. This was huge for me.
Luckily, Nate and I were on to this whole “decorating world going grey” thing in a lot of rooms in our house. I don’t know WHAT we were thinking when we painted this guest bedroom beige when the rest of the basement is grey. I think we were thinking that we just want to be done painting and we have some of this macademia color left.
It was later in the day when I took this picture but the bedroom grey now matches nicely with the darker hall grey.
(See more finished photos here)
And then I looked at the guest bathroom next door…..
More Macademia…….Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Who wants to help me paint???
How do you pick out your paint colors? Are you a sample taper or do you just wing it?

Hope you had a great week-end....I’m exhausted….
On a happy note, the guest bedroom is now a beautiful grey. Pictures to come this week!!
While I was cleaning up my paint mess, Nate whipped up one of my favorites….Cheeseburger cups…
Delicious. Eat these. You will not be disappointed.
Cheeseburger Cups
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (my favorite word to say….Worcestershire)
1 tube (12 oz) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
shredded cheese
Brown beef. Drain. Stir in ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
Press each biscuit onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased muffin cup. Spoon beef mixture into cups; top with cheese.
Bake at 400 degrees for 14-16 minutes or until gold brown.
