Decorate Your Home Archives - Page 19 of 113

Whenever someone asks me for paint color advice, I always have the same reply: Pick the one that you are immediately drawn to. Paint it on the wall. Live with it for a few weeks. If you don’t love it after those few weeks, then you need to pick another color.

Well, I recently had to take my own advice. I’ve lived with this crazy yellow wall for a few weeks. It was perfect on the swatch. Perfect on the sample that I painted. But on the whole wall? Negatory. It was blinding.

So, I picked a few more yellows to try out. I lived with those samples for a few days. I hated them, too. Yellow was out.

I knew that when I painted the wall bright yellow, I was taking a risk. And risks in decorating are risks worth taking – even if it doesn’t work out in the end.

I yet again grabbed my HomeRight EZ Twist Paint Stick (Amazon affiliate link) and yet another can containing a risky color of paint. It took me an afternoon of rolling, but I immediately knew that this had risk paid off….

The world has gone gaga for Pinterest. We may use it for different reasons – recipes, DIY ideas, poses for family photos – but so many of us use it on a daily basis. My kids have come home from school with Pinterest inspired projects, and my friends are always telling me about fun things that they saw on Pinterest.

So, here’s the deal. I’m joining up with a group of bloggers to host a weekly Sunday Pinterest Party! These are some great gals who blog in DIY, Crafts, Food, Fashion and Parenting. I’m really excited about it, because this isn’t the cast of expected characters around here. I’ve met some fun new gals getting ready for this, and I’m excited to branch out a little bit in my Pinterest love.
