Inspiration in weird places
I have saved this random bag of chips for over a year - for purely aesthetic purposes. I instantly fell in love with the gray-blue background color on the bag the moment I saw it, and knew that I had to find a color match for some room in my house.
However, months went by and I forgot about the chips, and recently I brought home some potential swatches for our family room re-painting project. I was drawn to Benjamin Moore's Mt. Ranier Gray (2129-60) - which, as it turns out, is exactly one shade lighter than the old bag of chips I dug out of a box today. I think it's meant to be!

i love finding inspiration in random objects like that. and it is a gorgeous shade of grey!
I think everyone finds inspiration in the smallest and most unlikely of places! Plus, grey and yellow have been best friends for a long time! I love reading your blog and looking at all the pretty pictures!
that is so cute!
That's a very pretty shade of gray and I love the bag of chips and the fact that you kept it for so long. You know its very strange, I live in Seattle and have been to Mt. Rainier many times, but I never associate the mountain with gray, I always think crisp whites, deep forest green and sky blue, perhaps I should speak with the Benjamin Moore people :) But you know, the gray also matches your blog.
Isn't that what inspiration is all about?
I think that is the most text I have ever seen on the front of a bag of chips.
Love your post!
The gray and yellow combination has been my absolute favorite lately.
