Picking paint colors can be a challenge, but I pretty much decided the rental house was going to be a chance to try out a few new colors, live with them for a couple years and see if I love 'em. Nothing crazy, we're sticking with neutrals and some pops of blue and green (I can't let go of Ryegrass, my favorite green paint color ... more to come on that). But a rental house is a good excuse to try out a new color or two. Like Sherwin Williams' Krypton blue. I loooooove it. Is it ... Read More about Krypton blue painted bathroom
