Trix are for kids

Hi Kids....

Let me start out with this - I hate picking out paint colors.





First things first.... This weekend we took the mirror down!



Why do (ghetto) people love putting mirrors on walls? Does it serve a purpose other making a room look bigger? In this case, not even close. The room didn't look bigger, it looked pathetic. The grey spots on the wall are... glue. If you look close enough, you can see a smile or a sad face. I see a sad face where the room cried for many years because of the former owners slamming a mirror on the wall.

Let's continue my story of pain. This is the 3rd or 4th time I had to repaint the stupid dining room. The blood orange just didn't work out at all! Instead of painting it red, a coworker suggested a "calm" green.


When we first started out with the green, we went for a very calm green. The only problem with this is that it turned out to look a bit mustardy when I first put it on. It really looked like baby puke. Pics of putting the baby puke calm green:





















Round 2 of another color! I had to go and get it retinted it because the paint turned out to be yellow on my walls before noon! It changes color! I HATE IT!







The new green (apple green). The good thing about this green is that it doesn't change color before noon! It stays green and looks really, really good. I am decent now! I got fed up with remixing paint that I started over and asked the guy at Lowes to make a new color for me.







































I like it!
