So far I've not paid anything for paint (oh, wait, the F&B was a bit too light, but I went back to the store where they originally purchased it and they tinted it a bit darker. Our family room just glows when the sun is right.

Some of the larger stores excess oops paints as well as extra paint from home builders and painting companies are donated to them....i mixed about 5 different oops & sample sizes together & got a color just a smidge lighter than the custom color my entire 1st floor is painted, in a satiny finish (instead of builder flat) which I used to paint the inside of my pantry closet to wear better.....

It is nice to know that there are other out there that have as many cans of paint as I do. I buy oops paint all of time from Lowe's, HD and Wal-Mart. I just got a quart of $18 chocolate glaze for $6 at Lowe's this week~ I agree their prices aren't as great as they once were. I can buy the sample sizes of Behr cheaper than I can buy the tiny ones at Michael's or Hobby Lobby! Ha! It is nice to know that there are other out there that have as many cans of paint as I do.

And, like you, I'm always mixing my own custom paint colors with a bunch of white, some burnt umber or black tint, and those "oops" colors. Someday, you and me girl, we're going to have our own paint color line together. <br /><br />PS Seriously thinking of coming to Austin in November to visit my cousin. Can you say 'thrifting' ? Woooo hooo. <br /><br />Kate I'm all about the "oops" paint.

I sure have tons of paint. Too bad we didn't live closer we could do a paint swap...I am sure between the two of us we can make any color in the rainbow.
