How To Mix A Custom Paint Color

This past Monday was a Civic Holiday here in Canada so it was nice to celebrate a long weekend. A few friends of mine visited the Painted Lady houses in Grimsby Ontario. Ohmygosh they are adorable. It was a TON of color inspiration. I’ll share a few pics at the end of the post so you can see how lovely they are.

The painted homes inspired me to restyle a side table I painted for my sister in 2017. Andrea wanted it to be changed to a Wedgewood Blue paint color. This requires some color mixing to get an exact match so today I’m sharing how to mix a custom paint color with NO mess, NO fussing with numerous paint colors, and NO guesswork. This shortcut will save you time and money and you’ll have a PERFECT match every time.
