Ha, I've been keeping leftover paint in a spare filing cabinet in my garage...never realizing that even after all these years living in Florida I'm still thinking like a 'northerner' when it comes to some things...
keeping a record of the paint code makes all the sense in the world...and the reality is now that the kids are grown and left the coop they are no longer wreaking havoc with the walls and there's very little touch up needed
thanks to the OP for opening my eyes on paint storage
