Picking Out Paint

I had to laugh as I surveyed the scene yesterday afternoon- my husband in his starched shirt and Cole Haan's, picking out paint at a roadside "hardware store."

The last time we picked out paint together we were recently engaged and running giddy errands all over D.C. We picked out several beautiful wall colors with the help of an eager sales person at the posh Georgetown Restoration Hardware. We bought mini cans and tested them out at our leisure, to make sure they fit with our decorating "vision" (my word, not Steve's) before investing in the big cans.

Today, we stood puzzling over an ancient looking color card as the well-intentioned proprietor told us he only had three of the 47 colors in stock. It was a much more interesting experience than Restoration Hardware, if a bit more frustrating. Below, a short video of the scene.
