I am puzzled as to why your SW store would refuse to make them in exterior. As an employee, I would make them reguardless but would definitely give you the heads up that the chartruese will fade a lot faster than you will like, which I am sure HD did not tell you. The brighter the green or yellow, the more likely it is to fade and that means more maintenence on your part. That is why it is recommended as an interior only color. I am sorry if your SW did not fully explain why they wouldn’t mix the colors. On another note, there are more color cards in this collection, each in interior and exterior: Arts & Crafts, Colonial, Jazz Age, Victorian and a couple more that are just not coming to mind at the moment.

just found your blog, this is a great post. My husband and I bought the same kitchen cabinets from Ikea. We are just in the demo phase but I’m looking forward to the finished product … and a bit wary of building the cabinets. How have yours held up so far??

My apartment building will paint any color as long as it’s from the exterior palette, so my kitchen is the blue (Stratford Blue) and my bathroom is the green (Burma Jade) and our floor hallway is the coral color. I love them mostly, the bathroom green I am still wondering if I should have opted for the more sage-y color than the truer green.

Ah well!

Hi Mr. and Mrs. Erwin! I was G.’s student teacher when he was in 2nd grade and I happened upon your site from AT! I instantly knew it was you guys from the minute I saw the entry title - Erwin; scrolled down and saw Christiane’s name and was like “oh my god!”. Just wanted to say hello, hope you all are doing well, and love the house! You are both so talented! Congrats on being published on AT! Tell G. I miss him.

Modspell,
Your house rocks! I have seen the pics on Retro Renovation and Desire to Inspire, I think. I need to tell you that I have the same stereo console system that you do. Woo hoo!
