The Power Of Pink. You Can Feel It!

This is one color that I never thought I'd like until I felt it. I know that sounds crazy! So why do you think pink feels so good?

My home office used to be a dark but cozy Paprika color and I loved it!!! All the colors in my home are cozy after all, it's home.

Being in the color field as you all know, I thought I'd go out of my comfort zone and test drive a color that I normally wouldn't give a second thought - and that color was pink.

“Pink???? No way! That's too girly!” I said and said it over and over and over again.

So I went for it. I bought the paint, brushed and everything else I needed to paint.

Will this look good? What do I have to lose. NOTHING.

Doesn't that pink look great? Now a little tip about pink - be careful of the dreaded bubble gum pink, aka the Pepto Bismol pink. You know the color - REALLY bright and obnoxious. No body likes that pink. Either you can go for the softer pinks with the yellow undertone or like I did here, the cooler pink that teeters between a pink and a lavender.

There I am staring at a primed wall and yes - prime!!!!! Even those most paints nowadays say two coats cover, I am not of fan of priming with my expensive paint. Primer is VERY cheap. So prime first THEN paint.

Yup. I was scared.

I put my big girl panties on and went for it!

This is just a glimpse of how wonderful my office came out. IT FEELS GREAT!!!! I'm all about how colors feel and heal so when I tell you that pink has some power, pink has some power.

Try it - you'll like it!!!
