Shades of Pink



How many shades of pink paint are there? If you answered approximately 2.5 million I think you're close. We want to paint the nursery pink. Sounds like a simple goal. But, after visiting our local paint store we have discovered that it's not quite that easy. The first trip to the paint store resulted in 3 samples purchased and put on the wall. I didn't love any of the three so after another trip to the paint store we have 6 samples painted on our wall. No clear winner yet. The contenders are: Panache Pink, Merry Pink, Impatients Petal, Irresistible, Lighthearted Pink and Childlike.

We ended up with "it's a girl", seemed appropriate. Good Luck.

I think I like "child's play" in one of your paint chips....not a contender?

Whew. Is that carpet staying? That's going to be tricky. I think either the fourth or fifth pink from the left in that first picture here.

MAP-
you're giving me a complex. What's wrong with the carpet? Yes, it's staying. It's only 5 years old.

LOL! Sorry! I was just thinking about how it's going to go with pink paint. I'm sure it'll be fine. I wish we would've had carpet on Ava's floor...would've made it easier to tip toe out of there after putting her to sleep! Good luck with the color decision. I'm glad I have L around for that kind of stuff.

You are waaaay overthinking this. MAP is not helping, I see.
