The pink wall


We are about to start a major renovation / extension of our house. I can't wait coz our house is classic 1970's - uurrgh. And too small. Anyway, three bedrooms will stay the same, so we are trying to get these updated before the builders start. I told the kids they could all choose a colour for one wall in their bedrooms. the choices they came up with are bright pink, orange and turquoise. (lucky paint is easy to change). This is the pink wall I have just finished painting in my DD's room. How cool is that going to be for a backdrop. My DD's are away at the moment visiting their grandmother for 3 weeks, so I had to con DS to pose for a photo. He will only let me take a photo if I let him pull a funny face - typical boy. So the photo isn't great - but I really wanted to show you the wall.

That is really pink. So fun of you to let them chose a wall! We let oldest daughter paint whatever on her walls. She has done some neat stuff. I will be sad when we move and have to paint over her artwork. That wall sure will be a cool backdrop and kudos to your son for posing in front of pink!

Actually, Patti, that expression works with the wall color! My DD and GD would love that color. They are both Pinkies.

His eyes came out really clear. My daughter would love that color of pink. We let her choose her room color to. Why not it is very easy to change.

That is a great color!! You'll have a great time with it, I'm sure. And, fwiw, my dd's room is painted lime green. When you look down the hall, her doorway "glows"!!!! :) It's fun to be a kid, huh?? I think this is a great shot of ds--his brightly colored shirt is perfect with that wall. And, fun colors just scream out for fun faces!

I also love your sunset picture from yesterday. I could look at your landscapes all day... Beautiful!

When I was growing up the fad was "pastel" and I really really wanted a PINK wall like that...so instead I got pastel baby pink!! OY....what fun though!
