Ugh. I think I painted my bathroom the color of a slapped cheek.

[LaraMN]

Face or ass, take your pick. That is the only thing I can liken it to. The new floor I installed looks awesome, but ONCE AGAIN I ended up with a weird-ass color on the walls. I really don't want to repaint the whole thing.

:banghead:

1. Ah, "Bitchslap Rose #372"

WE decided to go with "Sunburn Coral #250" in our bathroom.

[LaraMN]

3. The more it dries, the more peachy it looks.

Peach bathrooms are my grandma's territory!

:cry:

2. try a wash or glaze

over it to tone it down or something...

[LaraMN]

4. I was thinking about that, but I don't know what color to tone it down with...

I'm just paint-brain fried.

[Connonym]

10. maybe someone at the paint store could help you with that

At the Sherwin Williams store near me the staff is really good at deciphering which tones/tints/whatever they call that shit go with what.

11. try a pale blue with lavender undertones

:hi:

what ever possessed you to keep painting once the color hit the wall?

I have learned (the hard way) to paint a 4x4 patch and let it dry, if it didn't work, take the paint back to the store and have them add more tint to get a better color

it's a pain, but better than repainting the whole darn thing and the cost of more paint

:hug:

12. I just wanted to get it done.

My towels are sort of periwinkle. Maybe I can work that color in. I'm a little tempted to wait a couple days and then tape it and hand paint stripes.

14. my son's dad

painted my son's bedroom RED.

Bright BLOOD RED.

I commented that I thought that was a bad idea.

I suggested that he paint a portion - a section - maybe even one wall and wait. As he painted, I remarked, "Hon, I'm not sure about this. Why don't you let it dry and let (our son) look at it before you finish it . . . )

But nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..................

He painted the whole damn thing.

Our son took one look and I could see the stricken look on his face. "Oh sh*t.

They tried to pretend that they LIKED IT! But they just couldn't do it.

It made you nauseated to go in the room.


He repainted it the next day (except one wall) a nice beige.

Except by that time he was totally pissed that:

A) I was right;

B) He was having to paint it AGAIN.

and

C) I was right.

:rofl:

The pisser - he was so "tired of painting" and so pissed off - that he did a completely CRAPPY job of it and left it unfinished around the edges. That was a year ago. (sigh)

Of course he left the familiy room in the same condition - I think by that point he just didn't want to be here anymore.

One of these days I'm going to get someone to move the furniture and finish it myself.

5. Simple solution- just crochet one of these toilet paper cozies in the same

color, then place it on the top of the toilet tank. Voila! You've got a lively matching item.

[LaraMN]

6. Omg! My great aunt had an all-crochet accessorized bathroom.

:scared:

[AllegroRondo]

7. Simple solution

make your husband repaint it.

Thats what my wife did with the living room.

Six times.

[A-Long-Little-Doggie]

8. I painted my office that color

Everyone called it PeptoBismal pink. It was not a compliment.

[mzteris]

13. kept 'em from hanging around, though

din't it?

:rofl:

[Pierre.Suave]

9. Pics or BAN!

For serious this time.

[Ellen Forradalom]

15. At least you picked the right room

for nice shade of Kiss My Rosy Red Ass.

[NC_Nurse]

16. Ouch. I've done that before.

Now I do the paint a small patch first thing - unless it's just a neutral beige or something.

You might want to give it a wekk, it could grow on you.
:-)

[BurtWorm]

17. This color?

:spank:

[Rhythm]

18. So where's the pictures???

...of you painting in your undies???
:spank:

[carly denise pt deux]

20. Just coordinate with some pictures on the walls and call it good

or go buy a couple of rolls of wallpaper border, some border paste and a brush, slap up a coordinating border on the top of the wall by the ceiling

you will get used to it LOL

I have had this happen to me so many times it isn't funny.....I spend a week picking out the perfect paint color, I even buy little sample pots of it, paint the wall, paint the whole room and it doesn't look right, so I fill the walls with pretty pictures and stuff, then it's not so bad.

21. we painted the kitchen Jalapeno red

We're not quite done yet. The floor was just installed last week. We still have to replace the back splash and install these delft tiles we brought home from Holland and the chair rail. The red looks nice.

[Midlodemocrat]

22. Very pretty.

[Bombero1956]

23. the floor

is a Dupont Tavas Travertine like this. Its a laminate that looks like a ceramic tile. It has a 30 year guarantee. Now we're looking at the bathroom.
