Jaded Mission: Sneak Peak, and Free Paint!

ok, so here's the deal on this "project" of mine...most everything is done, but after reviewing the pictures with my mom(who is an amazing decorator as a lot of you know) we both agreed I needed something on the wall and settled on the idea of a border. Thing is my husband has an addiction to adding sand texture to paint,(says it hides imperfections well or something lol) which makes it impossible to adhere wallpaper or border to it, unless you like the lumpy version. :) So we decided to cut some pieces of 1/4 inch mdf to screw into the wall and then put the border on that, and paint the wood green so it adds some green further up. You will understand when I show you the pictures...lol I hope. So needless to say, I thought oh we have green paint downstairs, no problem...well I was wrong, sort of. We have some leftover green paint from our living room...but...it has texture in it. yup, ok, not going to work. So I posted on our local freecycle group asking for some, long story short, that was basically another dead end. So I was really hoping to be able to find some cheap mistint paint, which I'm sure most of you know, but if not, anywhere they sell paint, except Menards(I don't know why they don't) but sells their mistint paint for sometimes $1, $5 or 50% off! So next time you go to WalMart, Home Depot, Lowes look for their mistint paint. Ok, so anyways, I needed to go to Sherwin Williams because we are painting the new drywall in the middle room(you know, the other half of the bathroom project, the new closet and entrance to the basement), I'll post pictures of that next week when its painted, but anyways, I needed to go to Sherwin Willams to get...you guessed it...sand texture...ugh...anyways, so I asked to see their mistint paint(which I guess you have to do at Sherwin Williams because its in the back) and they had a small quart of a softer green, and a gallon that had drippings all down the side and only had a 3rd or so of the paint left in it, but it was called Enchanted Forest, and I really liked them both, but thought the Enchanted Forest would work best, so I said how much is this one(the messy one) she said oh you can have it, its not even our brand of paint, so i couldn't sell it to you if I wanted to..lol...YES! FREE! so then I asked about the second one, and she said $2, so I got them both! I was super excited...I started experimenting by mixing a little of them both together, but I think I will end up just using the Enchanted Forest, the free one, but we'll see...I will let you know which one I chose for sure, when I post the pictures...

Speaking of pictures...I am hoping this paint will dry quickly and that Tom will be available to put the wood up for me, so I can hang the border and still post the pictures tonight, but it might not be till tomorrow, but soon, I promise...lol but for now...I decided I would give you a small sneak peak :)
