Paint Mortification

I am bad at picking paint.

I am GOOD at picking colors that go together, but somehow, the colors on those little cards never translate well to the walls of my home. *sigh* I have now tried THREE colors in the redone bathroom -- one because I was cheap and the previous owners left it here -- I thought it was a nice light blue but it came out looking like something a smurf sneezes out...okay, I don't really know what that would look like, but it was ugly. Then I tried a nice blue that I actually successfully picked out. It's a nice color, but there are NO windows in this hall bath, and with the tile we've chosen, it didn't look to good either.

So I went back to Lowe's today to find a new paint color. I thought I'd picked a nice warm, muted green color that, on the walls, appears more like a muddy grass stain mixed with newborn baby poop. Excuse my graphic color descriptions, but seriously -- I hate it.

BUT, on the upside, I did find an AWESOME vessel sink with a stand, a granite top, and the vessel for less than $150! It was the display model on uber-clearance, but this particular model happened to be way up high where every random passerby couldn't grope its bowl, and it is in good shape. I'm VERY happy because we thought we'd purchased an all-in-one on the cheap only to discover it had no top. But it all turned out better this way. NOW we just have to return the other...which should be fun...

Anyway, my paint pain continues. I still think a nice green, or maybe a true Wedgwood blue would look nice...but crap, who knows? Certainly not me.
