When I heard that Ralph Lauren was discontinuing their paint at HD, I went into a bit of a panic and decided I had better get my hiney over there to pick up the color cards before they were all gone! When Martha Stewart discontinued her Living line at Kmart, I was so sad that I didn’t get the cards of some of the colors~they are so hard to find now! I wasn’t going to let that happen again, so I went and started collecting:
Then, I hole punched each one and put them on a ring ( I got this fabulous idea from Jen at The Cottage Nest)
Now, if I want to paint something Cathedral Grey like Wendy at the Shabby Nest,
Or Canvas Natural like The Old Painted Cottage,
I have the cards and there is no need to panic that Ralph is no longer to be found. Doesn’t he make the most lovely colors? Oh, and there is no need to panic (I am probably the only spaz that would panic about something like this), my HD paint guy said they wouldn't be replaced for awhile and that they will keep the formulas in the computer. But there is something sure about having the cards in my hand {on a ring} that makes me feel better.
