Comments on: New Year’s Resolutions – Bringing Sanity into the Bungalow http://bungalowinsanity.com/2009/01/12/new-years-resolutions-bringing-sanity-into-the-bungalow/ Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:05:44 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: stephanie http://bungalowinsanity.com/2009/01/12/new-years-resolutions-bringing-sanity-into-the-bungalow/comment-page-1/#comment-848 stephanie Tue, 21 Jul 2009 03:29:44 +0000 http://bungalowinsanity.com/?p=928#comment-848 Thank you, Kelly! I'm glad you like it. :) We have a whole page dedicated to the paint colors we've used here: http://bungalowinsanity.com/2007/11/16/paint-color-post/ The green color in the playroom is a Millenium color - a few different paint companies use their color palette. Duron paint is one of them. Miller Paint here in Portland used to use their palette but changed to a new one last year. Our local Miller and Sherwin Williams stores still have this color recipe in their database though - your local paint store may too. Just tell them that it's a Millenium color - it's called Pekoe Tea 7673M. http://www.oselpaints.com/millenniumi/c20.html Hope this helps! Basically, my daughter picked out the polka-dot fabric first and choose a green to match the polkadots. Thank you, Kelly! I’m glad you like it. :)

We have just finished our basement and I want to do the same decorating you have done. Can you share what the green paint color is? I LOVE your playroom.

They have a multicolored five pack at Pottery Barn Kids for $30 (gulp!) but I bought my pen on Etsy from the "Chalkydoodles" shop for $6 (and she was offering free shipping at the time.) No dust at all with the chalk pen - really cool!

I just may need to check that out. I just love my chalkboard painted surfaces, but it would be great to have something less dusty to write with! Thanks for the feedback! ;) That is great, Stephanie!

It pretty much looks like chalk, except that it might be a slightly brighter white. It's no different from writing with a magic marker, so obviously, it's a snap to use. And it does not wipe off unless you wipe it off with a wet cloth - in which case, it cleans up flawlessly. I am definitely digging the chalk pen! Hi Kristin,
