Free Paint Tracker and Planner Chart Printable for your Home!

I'm sure I'm not the only person out there who has a stack of old paint tins, precariously shoved on an over-full shelf in a barely used closet somewhere in the depths of their house...

Okay, so mine aren't as messy as this. (but pretty damned close...) Sew at Home Mummy.

For ages I have been meaning to devise a chart that I can tape on the back of said closet door, so I came up with one (finally!)

Sew at Home Mummy.

so that I can keep track of all of the colors and types of paints I've used, inside and out, on my house. I am at the point where I just don't have the room anymore to store teeny tiny bits of paint in gigantic tins just in case my kid decides to take a marker to a wall (true story) or my husband puts a big gouge in another wall moving a piece of furniture (another true story), and I need to fix it.

Now I can go and get a $4 sample jar or just a quart of said paint color to fix any of life's... mishaps...

I've seen people who keep paint sticks dipped in the paint, labeled, and hung from a ring. Cute, except I don't always have a paint stick and this (at least in my house) would need to be a very, very big ring.

So! My solution was a basic chart that I could keep track of paint colors for the interior and exterior of my house, and even add the stains I use for my decking.

you can even use it to keep track of your exterior stain projects! Sew at Home Mummy.

It's in a plastic sheet protector, taped to the inside of a basement closet door for easy reference.

...excuse all of my gift bags, but the new paint tracker is stored in a plastic page protector right above, on the back of a closet door.

It has little chance of getting lost, and it's a great reference for homeowners and even future buyers if you're planning on selling your house one day.
