"I hate it."

Not the words any guy wants to hear on Valentine's Day.

Real love is just accepting that you'll be painting the walls again.

Your monitor and my phone do not convey the color correctly.

Lexie has decided that the color she thought was "fun" is just too bright. We need to tone it down. We're out of practice with the painting thing. I guess we forgot how much brighter a color is when you've got a wall full of it than when you just have a little swatch.

So this thing will drag on a bit. But probably not this week. We'll just clean up and deal with it for a while. I hear that Paula is practiced in living with bright colors.

I like it: it's very TRADING SPACES. If you had a coconut butter smelling candle and beach towels, you'd have the whole Swimming Pool look. Of course, I live in the frozen tundra where we're expecting more snow tonight...

Actually, from the photograph, it doesn't look bad at all. I do know, however, from recent personal experience about the color issue in that I gave our bathroom 4 coats of paint, two green (ARRGGHHH!!!) covered by two of a cream color (AHHH). Have fun. Looking forward to seeing the bathroom in person this weekend.
