Nicole Balch over at Making It Lovely has a great post up this week on picking the perfect pink paint color.
I love her choices too. Very soothing, very not pink all the time. When I think of pink, I think of the three pink paint colors that every bedroom in my house sported when we bought this place. It was intense pink. Mauves and peachy pinks. The only pink left is the peachy-pink in the guest room and it will go away soon enough. It can be lived with. Hubby just couldn’t have a mauve office, no way, no how.
Paint is tough. The best advice I’ve read recently is not to paint swatches on the wall, but to paint a board and move the painted board around the room to other elements, the floor, the windows, in the light, out of the light. It’s easier to pick a color that way. Can’t remember who told me that, but I think it was Young House Love.
Anyway, thinking on paint as I have a very busy work week and as my hubby transforms our backyard into something of beauty. He’s doing great!
