Am I the only person who sees something like this, and thinks: “Who actually has that many paint chips — and why do they have so many?” (Well, with the exception of, say, some owners of house-painting companies or stores that sell paint, and architectural and/or interior design firms.)
I mean, I can see owning a handful of samples. In advance of my house-painting projects, I’ve visited hardware and paint stores and taken home sample cards of similar paint shades, to help me decide which tint I actually wanted to use. But I didn’t help myself to dozens of swatches.
Do you suppose that people collect paint sample cards with the intent of using them in home decorating/craft projects?
Wasteful, maybe?
What do you think?

I should go get a bunch of paint cards to decorate for Adison’s parties.
I used to have an obsession with collecting paint cards.
Oh my God. This. Is. Beautiful.
