Good Walls and Bad Walls


Not be confused with the good witch and bad witch.

The second niece's bedroom paint.  She didn't want lime and light pink, she wanted PINK and purple.  That is what she will have. 

The ceiling will be purple and the walls pink.  It looked really nice when we finished.

 
What didn't look nice, my walls in the breakfast nook.  Blah.  Two coats of primer and a coat of semi-gloss (very cleanable for the kitchen) and YOU CAN STILL SEE THE SEAMS!!!!!

 
*sigh*  I added a little more plaster to several places to even out the lumps.  I fear I may never be able to make it perfect.  I might just have to stay out of the kitchen and bathroom when we visit. 

 
 
This situation allows the perfect opportunity to use a line from Steel Magnolias:

Shelby: My colors are blush and bashful. I have chosen two shades of pink, one is much deeper than the other.
M'Lynn: But the bridesmaids dresses, they are really beautiful.
Shelby: Ceremony will be too. The walls are banked with sprays of flowers, and my two shades of blush and bashful. Pink carpets especially laid out for my service, and pink silk bunting, draped over anything that would stand still.
M'Lynn: That sanctuary looks like it's been hosed down with Pepto Bismol!
 
Makes me laugh every time.
