I get bored with boring rooms. I like color, even if it's just a little splash. For the past year and a half since I moved away from home all the eggshell white walls in this apartment and the one I lived in last year have just been killing me and I feel like I'm in one of those padded rooms for crazy people. I've also been looking for a way to re-arrange my room so I made a pretty spontaneous decision to hit up Lowe's and get some supplies.
I picked a sort of hot pink paint. If you know me, I'm not at all a pink person Everything in my room is blue or a shade of blue or as a back-up color, green. I don't know why I just gravitate towards them but for some reason, a blue room would be a little ridiculous and I'm instantly reminded of this song. There are little spots of pink in my bed comforter anyway so why not?
It was about 9 o'clock at night once I actually started painting and I painted the night away- but only the lower half of my wall. Painting all the walls in my room this insanely hot pink would give me a headache so I tried my best to tape straight lines across the wall (which let me tell you, is MUCH easier said than done). Thankfully, I had some great music to accompany me (Ever wanted to hear 80's songs covered by some really great indie folk artists? Check it out!) and was finished about 2 o'clock in the morning. Here's some pictures of the finished product!
