What turns up in the can is not always the shade you see on the little tiny square of paper, though in theory that's how it's supposed to work. <br /><br />My bathroom was my first experiment with "color." My family endured purple (yes-PURPLE) for years until it was finally changed just recently. I couldn't stand the embarrassment any longer. I insisted it was an expression of my artistic phase that I was going through at the time but secretly-- I admit it was an eyesore. I never thought to tell people I was color blind. It would have saved me some serious humiliation.<br /><br />I personally think the brown towels will look great with pink walls, Cheri. ;) And I'll betcha anything that it doesn't look nearly as bad as you think it does!!!Jeri Gilchristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04841520657516094017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193910359201416007.post-20356111847948219972009-05-19T04:38:00.000-06:002009-05-19T04:38:00.000-06:00It happens to us all, Cheri, it really does. I've ...It happens to us all, Cheri, it really does. I've learned that "Magnolia" is my friend.<br /><br />My best friend Suzy told her husband she had plans to paint their bedroom. She was thinking of going with a delicate pink. He wrinkled his nose and said that, as a man, he didn't think he could live with a pink bedroom. Fair enough - except that their bedroom was ALREADY pink and had been for years. Turns out he's colourblind and had neglected to tell her this. Apparently he had always thought pumpkins and carrots were green because that's the colour all vegetables are. Apparently about 50% of men are partially colourblind. Unfortunately not your sons, it appears.Anna Buttimorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14559142770865747131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193910359201416007.post-48948923112819960182009-05-18T14:46:00.000-06:002009-05-18T14:46:00.000-06:00Pink is in for men, especially pink shirts, so why...Pink is in for men, especially pink shirts, so why not a pink bathroom. I can't tolerate paint fumes, even the new supposedly odorless paints, so I don't paint. On those rare occasions when I have to pick, outpaint for my husband to apply, I insist on examining that little paddle like stick the paint people have just used for the final swirl of paint mixing. It comes closer to the truth than those samples do.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15623353613539928215noreply@blogger.com
