Redecorating? Hold on to those paint lids

With a new paint color on your walls, new home decor accessories will usually soon follow.  Instead of walking around decorating stores with the tiny paint chip picked up when the paint was purchased, how about holding on to the lids of the empty cans?

When the paint dries completely, put the lids in a Ziploc bag and carry them with you while shopping. They stack thin and take up very little room. You also get the most accurate mixed color as a looks in your home.

Okay so now I have MORE projects to do. Looks like a shopping trip for window treatment fabric and accessories for the top of the kitchen cabinets will be in my future. Glad I have my paint sample lids!!

I'm SEW glad you stopped by. I'll be on vacation all next week and hope to post something creative from the beach.
