Someone pinch me quick! If I could do a back flip I would, but that’s not about to happen, so let’s just say I’m really excited ok?  I’ve been anxiously awaiting for several months to share with you that my Laundry Room Makeover has a two page feature spread in FIRST for Women Magazine!

Sand & Sisal in First Magazine

Back in May, one of the editors of FIRST came across my laundry room on Pinterest, tracked me down and asked if they could feature the laundry room for the fall. After several phone conversations and emails, the article in the October 1, 2012 issue of FIRST was set! The girls at FIRST were great to work with and nice as can be. For some mysterious reason they did leave out the “Keeping it Real” picture though (hee, hee, hee).

    Can someone please verify the color used in the magazine? I accidentally threw out my magazine and really wanted to use the color that was in the magazine. It is not the Sherwin Williams color that is mentioned on this website. The one in the First for Women magazine is a Benjamin Moore color. If you look close at the above photo you will see this. I think the color may have been Benjamin Turquoise Haze. Can anyone confirm this for me? Thanks!

    • Kim Wilson says

      The magazine listed color they wanted you to buy (it’s called an advertisement- BM Turquoise Haze). The magazine saturated the color in my photo and told me they would. The actual color can be seen in the laundry room post. I used Sherwin Williams Rainwashed. Understand that every person’s monitor will portray the color differently also and BM’s Turquoise Haze is just the closest to what they made it look like.

      You’re welcome 😉 I really wish mags didn’t do this, but I’ve seen quite of bit of it happening in the past few years. I’m happy you like the laundry room. Thank you!
