Home Color Palette Ring

ByAshley

Learn how to create a home color palette ring to carry with you when shopping for home decor and accessories. Never buy decor that doesn’t coordinate with your home again!

They’re at it again! The ladies at  It all started with paint, the space between, Thistlewood Farm, The Cottage Market, and Eclectically Vintage have set up another challenge! For the last challenge, I sewed envelope pillowcases for our couch! This time the challenge is actually a series of challenges. Each challenge has a different theme and I’m so excited! I’ll hopefully by linking up to all of them, starting with It’s a Cinch! I decided to create a home color palette ring. This ring will help me coordinate curtains, pillows, and other home decor pieces with the existing color palette in my home.

I’ll hopefully by linking up to all of them, starting with It’s a Cinch! I came up with a really easy project, that is going to be super helpful for my future decorating needs!
Basically, you dip paint sticks (I used craft sticks) into the paint that you used to paint rooms in your house. So far I have used 4 colors in our house, so I only needed to dip 4 sticks. I tried to wipe off drips as best I could so they wouldn’t be apparent when the paint dried. I let the sticks dry for several days, but that’s just because I got really distracted. 😉
When my sticks were good and dry, Jesse took them out to the garage and drilled a small hole into the ends of each stick. For now, I just threaded some string through the holes and tied the sticks to a key ring, but I’m planning to attach them to a lanyard along with some fabric samples from each room. I’m hoping having this all together will help me when I go shopping or to yard sales, so I know what will look good in each room and what wont. This super easy and very useful project was A Cinch!
Do you have a super easy project that you want to get accomplished? Go do it! And join me at the linky party at one of these blogs next week so we can share our cinches!

  9. I love the colors you are using for your house. I should go back and make paint sticks for mine but I am not sure I still have all the colors. This will be really helpful for you when selecting fabrics and furniture for all your rooms.

  10. Love it! Glad you did it. It’s such a good idea and I know for sure something like that would help me out immensely. Maybe I should think about making one myself. I’d start by repainting all of the walls 🙂

  14. Great idea! I will have to decide which item on my to-do list is easiest and get it done in time for the link party. I’m totally going to start dipping sticks though. Paint chips just aren’t the same.
