I know we have discussed my obsession with paint decks and paint sample cards previously, so I'm sure it won't surprise you to know that I have all of the Martha Stewart Paint cards from her Sherwin Williams line. I got tired of having to dig them out of the ziploc bag that contains my loose paint samples so I created this homemade paint deck so I would have easy access, because let's face it, Martha Stewart paint cards are just better than other paint cards. They deserve to be treated in a manner befitting their stature.
Here is how this deck was created. Go to the craft store & buy a hinged metal ring that opens in the middle (Less than$2 for a pack ), go to your friendly local Sherwin Williams paint store and pretend you just bought a new 4,000 square foot house with all white walls & proceed to take one of each paint card on display ($free), take the cards home & punch a hole in the corner of each card, put them in numerical order and place on metal ring. Ta-daa!
Oh, I love paint chips and have amassed quite a collection. This is a great idea! Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteGood idea. Okay, where are the pictures of the craft room??? We're waiting with baited breath!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really great idea. Very professional! I love paint cards too. There's something about those little blocks of colour that makes you want a whole house of blank walls to start painting.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I am equally obsessed and not feel the need to rush right out and make one! What fun!
ReplyDeleteI have a drawer full of paint chips that I have just not known how to organize. What a great idea! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteyou are right...Martha Stewart paint chips ARE better than other paint chips. My entire house is painted in her colors. Glad to know I'm not the only paint chip junkie.
ReplyDeleteGREAT idea Jen!!! I have a zillion paint chips and I'm going to steal your idea! And I have those Martha Stewart chips too, LOL!!!

This is a great idea and actually made me laugh out loud! I'm an Interior Designer and Stylist in SoCal and I own many fan decks from all the major paint manufacturers. Your clever idea makes me want to go out and make my own! Glad I stumbled upon your blog today. I'll keep checking in to see more fun ideas.
ReplyDeleteI love Martha's chips too. I have quite the collection. I once saw in a magazine that they took a bunch of chips in similar shades and turned it into art...One day I will do it. If only I could find that article!
