We actually discovered that there is ANOTHER color under the pink -- some nasty shade of turquoise, visible where the previous residents missed some spots around the baseboards, in the closet, etc. And we think the pink is a home-mixed shade to boot. We found a can of paint that had a label indicating it should be white, but it had dried up Pepto-Bismol drips on the outside. I'm guessing they threw in a little red, stirred it up, and called it a day. Amusing, no?This Ro(a)mantic Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324882155203905958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356184928339139776.post-75682197515513890982009-11-12T15:19:17.946-06:002009-11-12T15:19:17.946-06:00So glad the third coat masked the pink.

There were some odd looks when they saw these rooms. Until we clarified that we weren't keeping the colors, that is :).<br /><br />TKW -- thanks, we're going to need it! Happy to report that the third coat of primer seems to have done the trick.This Ro(a)mantic Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324882155203905958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356184928339139776.post-60065490683717133852009-11-12T09:51:35.713-06:002009-11-12T09:51:35.713-06:00Oh man, that pink is powerful stuff!

She couldn't wait to show off the house when they were done. OMG the colors made me shudder!!!!! It was horrible to say the least. <br /><br />Have fun with the painting -- can't wait to see the end result :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
