Hey everyone, just deciding what tone of paints I should use on the shop,
Im thinking a sort of, French Grey, here are some paint samples Im looking at, I would appreciate any thoughts....


I plan to paint it all on the coming weekend, then mum will help me do the lighting, I will report back a little later and show you some miniatures I have from the shop.

    Hi Mia,
    I love the color palette you've chosen. Do you have a specific period for your shop. Will it be modern day or an era from the past...that might help guide you for color choices. A132 and A192 caught my attention.
    Can't wait to see you progress.
    Big hug,
    Giac

    Hi Mia,
    I have joined your blog--it will be interesting and fun to watch your progress. I love the name of your blog. I like some of the "cream" colors on the back large sheet of colors.
    Cheers,
    Iris

    Hi Mia,

    I certainly think the colour palette you have chosen is attractive. It would work for any period. I think two complimentary colours from this palette would work well, a darker shade for the main walls and a lighter shade for architectural mouldings.

    regards

    Hi Mimi,

    Well, here I am, 'fashionably late' as usual. Did you finish painting your shop, yet? I like the French Grey idea. Looking forward to seeing how it turned out! (A slight metallic accent of silver or gold on the moldings might punch things up).

    :)
