When we got our fabulous new marbled quartz counters last summer, the profile of the new peninsula countertop was smaller than the old one and we ended up with a little halo of unpainted wall around it that was so horrifyingly unsightly that I immediately waited an entire year to try to paint it in. Since I have all our household painting supplies out for my bedroom painting project right now, I figured I’d use the opportunity to finally touch it up. To make sure I didn’t use the wrong color from our many saved AND UNLABELED containers of leftover paint from throughout the house, I made little sample sticks of paper that I could hold up to the wall first to make sure I had the exact right paint. Which I did. AND WHICH DIDN’T WORK BECAUSE THE TOUCH-UP PAINT IS SIGNIFICANTLY LIGHTER AND I WASN’T TERRIBLY EXACTING IN MY PAINT APPLICATION AND NOW WE HAVE TO BURN DOWN THE HOUSE AND START OVER.
