Well the roller coaster continues. I finished painting the living room after working on it almost all weekend and every night since then and I do not love it, yea I don't even like it and my stomach is turning at thought of all the work its going to take to re-paint it but I don't think I can live with this color. So I find myself doing some self talk to re-group reminding myself its just paint and it can be fixed, everyone makes mistakes and there are much much worse things in life. So I keep coming back to how did I make this mistake? For two years I've been wanting to do a shade of yellow but somewhere I took a wrong turn just haven't figured out where, I would like to find out so I can avoid such a bad choice again but at last examining the anatomy of this decision has revealed no point I even considered not following through with this plan. Sometimes it just happens.
Allie and Chloe are staying the night and I just have to laugh when I asked 6 year old Allie what she thought, she sweetly said, "Well its not people's favorite color but it matches well". It might "match" but its not my favorite color either, back to the drawing board!

You don't like it? I thought it looked good when I saw it. What color are you going to repaint it?
I don't think it's you taking a wrong turn somewhere but it is about color schemes and how they actually look when painted in different environments. It is very tough to paint with colors other than neutral ones. There were plenty of instances when I painted people's stuff and they didn't like it despite great aspirations for adventurous colors. I personally loved the color you had originally.
