Pink wall blues!

On Thursday I knew that I had found the perfect pink accent wall, Magic wand. In the store, under the fancy lights that allow you to see the color you choose in 3 different ways, it did not look like pepto bismolt.
So after Damsel, the old lady mauve color, I go with Magic wand, the pepto color.
I'm totally over pink!
But on a great note, we did find a great color for the main walls- Pink Kiss. We did the first coat on Thursday night and did the second coat last night. It looks nice.
The Valspar Signature paint is awesome; really thick and spreads great. It took two gallons, a surprise to me but this main room has high ceilings and is rather spacious.
So I can stop obsessing over the pink accent wall over the fireplace, I am just going to paint it Pink Kiss.
My obsession with paint would make you think that this is the only thing going on with my new house. There are definitely more issues than this.

Home Ownership Is So Gangsta

I have done one of the most grown up things ever.
I can hardly believe it myself.
I have bought my first house.
For folks tettering on the fence of whether or not to buy a home, do it!! Instead of making other folks money, you might as well do yourself a favor and buy a home. You have to live somewhere, right?
I own something. I have a 30 year commitment(I am such a commitment phobe)
Its great a craftsman style bungalow in the West End.
Now is time for the TLC. Paint, Tiling, Electrical Endeavors, Yard Work and More.
My hope is to keep this blog to be a witness of this long, tedious, sometimes frustrating, and fun process.
I believe in the power of doin' it yourself, so here I go. Wish me luck!

The Search for the Perfect Pink Room. Right Now I'm Aganist Damsel; something like Ameoba

I am having the hardest time finding the perfect room color. I know there is no such thing as perfect but I am going out on a limb in hoping that I can have a room in my fave color: PINK.
so taking a leap of faith and trusting that I will find the right color and hoping that I will find the right color that energizes, shines, and is generally awesome I paint my wall damsel. Damsel should be called old lady mauve or yucky raspberry.
So I am not the hunt again; blocking out the voices of my friends who hear pink wall and cringe and say well you aren't twelve or do you believe in unicorns. I am not 12 and I am not sure about the state of unicorns, but I want a pink Wall.
Something that makes you think of shiny bubble gum or cotton candy. Something great.
Paint is the cheapest mistake you can make but its not so cheap when it is 13.00 for each quart.
I'm going back to Lowe's again in search for the right pink!

yucky right! I don't know why I thought it was going to look right. decided to paint the entire back wall anyway!
