oh the infinite possibility that lies in a paint chip!
a chance for domestic change &  newness &amp in a pretty little swath of colour.

i'm obsessed with paint chips these days. we've repainted the guest room here {stay tuned for fun DIY before and afters soon!} , and  up next is  my mom's bedroom for a little colourful pick-me-up! 

so it's paint-chips-taped-to-walls-in-every-room!

i saw avril loreti's gorgeous new paint chip placemats earlier this week (yet another brilliant fabric design by that superstar!) and thought a round-up of paint chip art & projects was inspiringly in order!

why not live with beautiful paint chips everyday!?
have a paint colour you're lovin' lately? 
i'd love to hear.
have a colourful weekend, sweeties.

  1. WOW! Who knew you could do all of that with paint chips. I wonder if home improvement stores are experiencing a bunch of women running in and getting a bunch of the free samples? LOL!

    My favorite is anything yellow these days. We just did our kitchen over in a soft lemon yellow and I love how calming it is in the mornings.

  4. Fantastic! We'll be painting our living space soon, and I just taped up a bunch of paint chips this afternoon. I was looking for some fun inspiration for what to do with them when I'm done :)

  9. Thanks for sharing all of these kristal! I can't help collecting paint chips every time I go past the paint department. I have a drawer full and I figured someday I'd use them for something! :)
