The Perfect Red

It was unanimous. Everyone wanted the formula for the perfect red.

And no.....

I wasn't trying to "tease" or "bait" you.

I actually had gotten paint all over the bar code that Lowe's puts on your cans to identify the mixed color and wasn't sure which sample I had used.

I was finally able to get to Lowes yesterday and they looked it up for me. My Lowe's paint guys are sooooo helpful!

So, no fancy recipe. Nothing complicated. Just a messy painter who slopped all over her can.

You're welcome.

The perfect red is..........

Drum roll please.........

Match of Valspar™ 1011-3 Quite Red 

This is why it is so important to try the color and not go just off the swatch.

To me....the swatch looks burgundy.

And I definitely didn't want burgundy.

On wood.....it actually is the "perfect" red.

Remember this little table?

Same red.

Perfect.

You wouldn't believe how different it looks in that part of my living room right now.

I will show you later this week. (Another teaser! ; ) )

For the perfect red......Lowes sells the Valspar samples for around $2.80.

Go try the perfect red for yourself.

I have so much to tell you guys. I need your take on a couple of things. Make sure to stick around. I need you all!

When will we be able to catch up?

Were you one of the ones waiting for the color?

If not, for $2.80 would you find something to paint this perfect shade of red?

I would love to hear your plans!

I love hearing from you.

Love,

Me
