I'm surprised my boys hadn't staged a revolt before that year was up. <br /><br />You know, if you hate it, you can always re-paint when Larry is off on some Boy Scout weekend.

As we gut and rewire, properly insulate and put up drywall, we are painting less boring shades, but still, nothing that dramatic. I did learn my lesson from the girls room. Pick a shad at least 2 lighter than looks good on the samples. The nice pink is pepto bismal pink on a large area.<br />mommeeof10https://www.blogger.com/profile/03611832953435781430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-24527960230203198992012-12-27T10:14:35.063-05:002012-12-27T10:14:35.063-05:00Oh, it's done already - Larry finished it on C...Oh, it's done already - Larry finished it on Christmas Day.

So happy for you. I have the fortune....or misfortune (depending on how you look at it) to be married to someone who doesn't care at all about paint colors or decoration choices. The good part....I can do whatever I want. The bad part....I get to do all the work. Oh well.
