We've been thinking for a while now of repainting Maggie's bathroom, a small room painted deep dark green.  She requested pink and blue, so I picked up some sample paints some weeks back and slapped them on a couple of corners.

Bad idea. 

Now we had pink splotches on green walls.  For several weeks.  And guests on the way right after Thanksgiving.  Guests who redecorate as a pastime. 

It was time to correct this problem.  So, last week I ran down to Home Depot and acquiesced to a couple of items in their Disney color selection -- Bibbity Bobbity Blue (I'm not kidding) and a pink I've forgotten the name of but I've come to think of as Retinal Burn Rose.  This weekend we painted.

And painted.

And painted.

And today, I painted some more.  I think we may be done, except for touching up some edges and corners as we notice missed bits.  

Let this be a lesson to you -- when painting over a dark color, primer is a *very* good idea.

Were you at least able to dictate your Great American Novel whilst painting?

I hope you are finished!
