Paint, Paint and More Paint!!

Paint, Paint, Paint!! I just love looking at all the paint samples! It makes me excited to think about all the colors that we are going to paint our house! Since everything can’t be a different shade of PINK (like my dream Barbie house) I have decided to compromise with Clayton. Clayton got out of class early and I met him at Lowes, we were going to buy full gallons of paint since this coming week we're on Spring Break but, instead the paint guy talked us into buying small samples of the paint color we wanted so that we could then paint a small square on the wall to insure that we will like the colors. We decided to buy yellow for the kitchen called “tulip”- - - a pale blue for the living room and hallway called “bed n’ breakfast”- - - and a green for the bathroom called “aloe vera”. The both of us couldn’t wait to see what the colors would look like so we by-passed being upset about not having had our official "sold" picture (the picture you take in front of your house after it's officially yours) and went on to the house and painted three squares. While I was painting the yellow square in the kitchen I decided right away that I didn’t like it. It looked way too pale. However, the way the paint goes onto the walls vs. the way the paint looks when it dries can be totally different (and it was). When the yellow started to dry and show the color that it was truly going to be I started to fall in love with it!
