Now you know you can find the perfect shade for any project by just matching up the names or codes for your specific Pantone color choice and will never have buyers' remorse again.

According to their website, "PANTONE Paints are imported from Holland, the country that has led the world's paint industry for more than two centuries. The paints of Holland are the best because they are formulated with expensive resins, which are carefully combined with high concentrations of finely ground pigments, inexpensive fillers are never used."

Green Planet Paints are all-natural, plant-based interior paints that are so safe the company claims you can bathe in them. Wow - talk about an inventive sales pitch! We have to admit - we were a little tempted to fill up the tub with a couple of gallons of eggshell and have a nice, relaxing soak. Instead, we'll leave the paint where it belongs -- on our walls!

So what's the secret of Green Planet Paints? They combine mineral pigments with plant chemistry, creating a sustainable formula that's completely VOC-free. The paint is as high-performance as other interior brands, meaning you don't have to worry about sacrificing quality for non-toxicity.

If you're worried about compromising the quality and look of the wood but can't take its existing condition/hue any longer, why not try staining it as opposed to painting? Stains are available in a wide range of shades, meaning you could go for a rich, dark hue or try something that's on the lighter side.

Plus, the stain will allow the grain and details of the wood to show through, rather than obscuring them with paint. Think of it as a happy medium between doing nothing and painting.

If you're seeking a dramatic change but aren't ready for a top-to-bottom renovation, applying new paint might just do the trick. Focus on one room or, if you're feeling ambitious, try a range of new hues throughout your home.

With help from Canadian House & Home, we've rounded up some of the top picks for fall-inspired paint colors. Sure, there are some dramatic dark tones on the list, but you'll also find multi-dimensional neutrals that work with a variety of decor.

1. Farrow & Ball's Setting Plaster: This is the perfect choice if you love the crisp look of a neutral but want something beyond white. Depending on the light, the color shifts from "a muddy peach to a pink-ish beige," according to H&H, and is an ideal choice for a bedroom.

As you may or may not be aware, we paint A LOT in our house. Nearly every surface has been touched, and we're nowhere near done yet. So when we first heard about FrogTape we were pretty intrigued about the possibilities.

We used the tape for painting trim around a window and a doorway -- we were painting the trim deep teal and both areas had white we wanted to maintain, so we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to give the product our full attention.

Thanks to the team at Shelterrific for alerting us to this fascinating product, created by a food cooperative called The Deli Garage.

Food Finish is available in four colors: red, blue, gold and silver. But the bigger question here is what would you do with edible spray paint? Decorate a bowl of fruit and freak someone out by taking a big bite? You could also paint plates and utensils without worrying if a bit of paint comes off into the food.

If you aren't due for a new roof, you can consider painting your shingles. Yet before you take the plunge, here are a few things to consider.

*Roofing type: If you have a composite or asphalt shingle roof (as most people do), you'll be able to paint it. Clay, concrete and metal may be more difficult to paint, so you might want to consult a local roofing expert before proceeding with your project.

*Budget: Roofing paint isn't cheap. It averages $35/gallon, and you'll need a lot. Measure your roof to help decide how much paint you'll need. And keep in mind that your roof will require two coats of paint, so you may want to double your initial price to ensure you have enough paint. You'll find that roofing paint has a limited availability, and you'll likely need to order by mail, which means you should factor shipping costs into your price, too.

The first step in converting your garage into a more useable and appealing space is to redo the floors. Our friend Matt recently shared his process of installing an epoxy coating over his stained and chipped garage floor and so far he's very pleased with the results. Matt lives in Mesa, Arizona which has extreme summer temperatures (115 degrees+). Garage floors must withstand hot tires and not stick or melt in the heat.

For his garage floors Matt chose a local product, Veron Coating's Granite-Cote System, that simulates the look of granite or terrazzo flooring. He went with a medium brown base and paint chips in dark brown, cream, and black. Granite-Cote is a durable, chemical and abrasion resistant seamless system and is easy to clean. Perfect for a garage floor which must withstand a ton of abuse.

Here are the steps he took.

Take your front door, for example. If you love vivid hues but don't want to turn your home's exterior into an eyesore, you can paint your front door. Plus, it's much easier to repaint a door than it is your home, so you can easily swap out colors depending on your mood.

While driving around in Kansas City a few days ago, I pulled over so that my partner-in-crime could snap the photo shown above. The home is located in one of the city's traditional, established neighborhoods, and I loved the contrast of the orange against the more classic exterior. I'd wager that the homeowners not only love color--they have great personalities, too.

While perusing our guilty pleasure Pinterest, we clicked through to a post about painting laminate furniture. There, we found a tip to use oil-based paint for a smooth, even, lacquer-like coat and to use an additive usually regulated to outdoor applications.

The obvious choice is to tear it out, of course -- and who doesn't love a little good ol' fashioned demolition? But as I was browsing a fantastic Before & After compiled by Ethan of One Project Closer, I realized another inventive solution: paint!

Angela from Fixing It Fancy shared her bedroom transformation, and, wow -- looking at the "before" photos makes the "after" all the more impressive! One of the first steps in the project was to remove the wall-to-wall wood paneling in the room.

The ceiling, however, proved to be a different story. It was also paneled, yet Angela opted to cover it with white paint instead of removing it. That, combined with crisp white trim and a grayish Tiffany blue for the walls, creates an airy, relaxing aesthetic that's perfect for a bedroom.

Interior doors are typically filed under the "functional yet boring" category--they come in handy when it's time to close off a space, but other than that, they don't add much visual impact to a room.

By painting them, however, you can liven up the door and add pops of color throughout the room. Sure, you can go the classic route and pick a crisp white or other neutral hue. Or you can head to the other end of the spectrum and try chocolate or black, which will complement dark trim. Maybe you'll want to meet in the middle with a soft sage, a smoky blue, a buttery yellow or even a muted orange--it all depends on your existing decor and how crazy you want to get with colors. If you're really craving visual impact, try a brighter shade like canary, turquoise or even pink. These shades work great if your existing room palette is neutral or a classic combination like black and white.

You'll want to evaluate your current paint colors to decide if dark trim is right for you. It makes a crisp contrast when paired with a neutral wall, or can help balance certain bolder shades.

And when it comes to selecting a paint for your trim, feel free to experiment with a range of darker hues. Black will make the boldest statement, but we also like a deep charcoal, moss or chocolate to add unexpected depth to one of the room's smaller components. If you're in doubt, try a hue that's three shades darker than the wall color. You'll still get that immediate impact from using a darker shade instead of white or beige, but it won't be quite as dramatic as some of the aforementioned options.

Sounds crazy, right? But it isn't! Using moss you either gather or buy (sans the dirt attached to the roots), some buttermilk or yogurt, water or beer (so many options), and a wee bit of sugar in a blender, you can easily make moss "paint" with which to graffiti to your heart's content -- or until you run out of homemade paint.

Lime wash paint results in an aged, velvety finish that adds an Old World look, enhancing an older home or nicely contrasting with more modern surroundings.

If you're interested in the look of lime wash, you have a couple of options. Valspar carries a textured lime wash finish that you can apply on top of a base coat in any number of techniques, including sponging, color washing and fresco. This is ideal for those seeking the flexibility to choose from any base coat color while still incorporating the look of lime wash.
