Ok friends…I have to admit, this post is SO SIMPLE that I almost worry it doesn’t merit a post! BUT…alas, I am going to share!
A friend of mine was over at my house for a Sunday School party one night and she asked me the color of my living room! She loved it, and she was about to paint a room in her own home and thought it was the perfect gray. Well…ummm…let me find the paint chip! {because I had no clue off the top of my head!} As luck would have it, I couldn’t find it. I told her I would look for it and get back to her. {insert slap on forehead. There is NO reason for that to ever happen! That stuff needs to be kept up with better, Brooke!}
When she saw my struggles, she told me about this hack I am about to share!
First, take your paint chip! {I cut mine to be just the one color of the room after I took this picture.}
Then…find a light switch in your room.
Unscrew it, and place your paint chip in! {***Be SURE to NOT put the chip on the side with the bare wire! Don’t want any shocking going on!!***}
Screw that bad boy back on…and for years to come, you always have your paint color handy when needed! {Great when you sell your house too so the new owners know what color in case they need to touch up!} Soooo incredibly simple~But BRILLIANT! Thanks, Kelly!
P.S. As long as you don’t touch the bare wires, you are good. A paint chip is not conductive, so it will be fine 馃檪
Pin for later!
