So. I repainted.

In the hardware store where I bought the paint, I agonized over two colors that looked exactly the same except a slight minor difference. One was a little more purple, the other maybe a little more silver purple-blue. About 15 minutes went by and in my head I was spinning, flipping between the two paints that looked exactly the same and was pretty much at war with myself. I didn't want to make another bad decision alone so I called my sister and she drove to the hardware store to help (good sister!). For another 10 minutes we debated the choice, and I think at this point the sales girl was getting more than a little annoyed, although she hid it well and acted patient (but she must have been annoyed because we were annoying, and I was even annoyed at us). Poor Sales Girl.

In a split second change of mind, I went with the purpler one of the two.

I painted for over FIVE hours yesterday, but I got a solid first coat down. How'd the paint turn out? Well, remember when I said I didn't want to pick a light purple because I'd be all "Holy Crap my walls are purple and I feel like a 7yr old girl"? Guess what! HOLY CRAP MY WALLS ARE PURPLE AND I FEEL LIKE A 7YR OLD GIRL!

HA! ha..... ha. (breaks down sobbing)

It's like a princess pony palace in there. It doesn't help that in there I have a tiny bed with a tiny white little girl bed frame and headboard (remnants of Rylee's old room) and unicorn knobs on my closet doors (again, remnants). But seriously, the paint is BRIGHT purple and my room now looks totally slumber party ready. Dig out those sleeping bags!

However.

My brilliant mother had the brilliant idea of combining the Poop Purple with the Pony Purple to create one splendid Poopy Pony Purple! Doesn't sound appealing but I think it might just work. We've done a little mixing on a small scale and I think the choice of 2 parts Pony to 1 part Poop could possibly be something I'll be happy with.

So....

I'm painting AGAIN!

Third time BETTER be the charm. That's all I'm sayin' bout that.
