I occasionally take mine on the train and read it like a book.

I know, I know!
On Monday I received the SW deck for my customers to reference (I already have the BM and Behr on hand) and I had them opened and spread out on the counter for two days just looking at them.

I really want the Annie Sloan deck that Miss Mustard had shown on her blog.

Annie Sloan

Miss Mustard Seed that is!

lol, it's ok; to me it's perfectly normal to be excited about a paint deck. my hubby says i treat my sw paint deck like it's our 3rd child ;)

LOL Zaara!

Pal - I'm so happy to know I'm not alone.

It's like a new, redecorated game of Clue. "Miss Mustard Seed on the train with the fan deck".

...and they found Miss Mustard Seed innocent by reason of insanity....

*snort*!!
I was trying to think of a clever Clue reference last night when I posted but to tired!

Gotta say I am Kennebunkport Green with envy. Once again, I want to be part of the cool kids' group!

Colour is the last frontier for me - I'm greatly intimidated when it comes to choosing colours. I could totally picture myself studying as if I was reading a book as palimpsest said he does on the train. I want to be part of the cool kids group too cyn427, I may just have get my own fan(s). Have fun bee!

I had no idea one could purchase such a treat on Ebay...I might have to do the same. I need a few to fully finish out my collection of various 5 lb lighting catalogues, the two brick stacks, countertop samples of granite, marble, and walnut, tile books, sample doors for not only my kitchen cabs, but each bath, and various millwork samples (balisters, crown, base, casing, you name it.) I told my builder he should add a spare room to my house so I can open "Nini's Showroom of Building Samples." I almost cried the other day when I phoned my lighting lady with my final order and told her I would load all of the catalogues up and bring them back to her...she said, "Oh honey, you keep those, we don't need them." Great.

Beveled? Eased? Demi-bullnoze? What edge are we talking about here?

I'm a lurker - now I'm craving the complete set of BM fan decks for myself.

I have all sorts of fan decks and still manage to pick the ugliest colors in them. Sheesh! I need more than fan decks I need a psychic to read my mind so I know what I want!!! But congrats to you sounds like you know what you are doing, : )) Doing the happy dance for you!

If any of you are in business for yourself, you can get them for free. You will probably have to open an account, and purchase paint... but you'll also get it at painter's discount.

I have all the ones we have gotten over the years. Can't bring myself to toss any of them.

You can purchase them from the store. I got all my SW for free when I was remodeling my old house, but purchased the BM deck I have from the store.

Ummmm...I have all of the Ben Moore decks AND the SW's deck...and I paid retail for all of them. So...no. I don't think you are crazy. (And my friends are always calling me and asking me to bring my decks by...)

Welcome to the dark side. It only gets worse... :-)

I used to have the big sample books in the carrying cases andcased binder sets. The one was so big and heavy I sat on it like a stool. I miss them.

Someone help me pleeeease....

These decks can also walk you down memory lane . . . as I was looking at mine not to long ago (given to me by my painter) I came across the color "whispering wind". It immediately brought me back to the Indian Maiden days with my daughter. In our Shoshoni tribe, my name was "Whispering Wind" and she was "Gentle Breeze". I wanted to use that color for that reason alone except it really didn't work into my color scheme.

I've never had to buy these decks. All the BM and SW stores in my area have given them to me multiple times free of charge.
