I (heart) Menards


April 24th, 2007

About 15 seconds after we moved in I went to Home Depot to get paint colors. I don’t have an particular loyalty to Home Depot or their paints, but it’s where we got all the paint for the old house so I started with what was familiar. Home Depot has a decent selection of paint colors to chose from and their color samples are on pretty big cards. Their colors are about 1 inch high and 4 inches across. Not too bad.

Today I decided to branch out and go to Menards. Their paint department is about 3 times bigger than Home Depot and a bunch of their paint colors come on these cool 3×6, peel and stick cards. Plus their display lighting seemed to be a little less flourecent-y. When I came home and looked at the colors again, there wasn’t too much “that’s not what I thought it was in the store.”

Plus Lexi thouroughly enjoyed wandering around the paint department saying “hi” to everyone who was waiting to have colors mixed.
