Pin It |  |

When I came in to take pictures of Joe and Grace painting, I noticed that the (over priced) paint was low VOC, the safer kind of paint.
That made me feel safe enough to do some painting myself.
I’d never painted with a roller before, and it was not as easy as I expected. I painted a bit, enough to make a contribution, and then I retired to the living room.
Probably to blog or talk on Twitter.
I’m sure it was something important.
Here’s what the room looked like after the first coat of paint.
Unfortunately, the picture doesn’t do the paint justice. It’s much more bright, more dark, more pink. Less Pepto.
Stop back tomorrow to see coats two and three.

I think it looks beautiful! I LOVE pink! I once saw on one of those TLC decorating shows that yello/pink compliment eachother so even though I am not a “yellow person” myself I mix the two to temper the “pepto” effect.
Now that is some very bright paint! I hope she loves it : ) You are such a fun mommy!

Very cute! love the color!
Fun color! We’re looking into doing some painting, too — in the children’s room! And that new “low odor” paint sure is cool! We used it in our living room a year or so ago…

She ADORES it.
Honestly, I thought it still had plenty of fumes, especially after 3 coats.
painting is fun and so nice to see the difference the paint gives the room.
it looks great! I love her “big girl” room!
Looks great, and I hope you took care of yourself afterwards and rested. Painting is a lot of work!
