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….

If you’ve been reading for any length of time, you know that I love paint – and particularly bold paint. I joked with a friend yesterday that I don’t normally go for colors described as “soft” or “light.” And to make it even more bold, I usually combine those colors with super graphic patterns and lots of bright stripes.

Now, I know that look isn’t for everyone. As my husband would say, “That’s a whole lotta look.” So for those of you who crave a little boldness but maybe just on an itsy bitsy, teeny tiny scale, I created a crazy easy spray paint project that you can do in an hour.

Darling, right? My little planter is just the right touch of funky boldness without going all Makely on your walls. It is spray paint season after all.
