I happen to LOVE pink. I HAVE had pink walls and would TOTALLY have them again. And wearing a girlie skirt whilst I paint sounds like a very wise idea! lol

We had a entire tri-level house with PINK EXTERIOR aluminum siding. At that same time, my mother had a pink dress, purse, and shoes. But not pink hair.

I was six.

It was, allegedly, my fault, because I "wanted" a "pink house" and a "pink mama," and as my parents were building a new one, mama prevailed, and had the exterior done in PINK.

Looking back on it, it actually looked fairly nice, best as I can recall.

Probably the real reason the painter did not like painting with this color is from paint splatters on his drop cloth and clothing. A quick way to overcome this is to wear a very light weight disposable zippered jumpsuit, laying plastic over his drop cloth. Our painters see to it when using shades of Yellows.

Hey, that's awesome. If you can pull off a pink wall in your house — good on ya'!

Why pink?

We did my bedroom brown once. Everyone thought it was going to look gross, but we stylized the paint to give it a neat leather look. With the wood bookcases (I have a lot of books) and other wood stuff it looked kinda' like an old study in a cabin.

Dear John,

I have so enjoyed reading your posts- especially the random ones that make so much sense to me. Should I be worried? As a homeowner of ? years, I better clue you in- enjoy the pink while you can because you will be compelled, whether by yourself of your wife, to paint again! The deep dark secret of homeownership is- this is just the beginning. My husband continues to ask- after living in the present house for 7+ years- "Didn't you say this was the 'perfect' house when we bought it? If so, why do we have to spend so much money changing it?!" Welcome to the club. Resist if you can.

happy trails…

If god didn’t like pink, why did he make your face that particular shade, John?

Be careful with the canned air, btw. I hear that people can get addicted.

Thinking of music reviewers, John have you read the book "I hate myself and I want to die – the 50 most depressing love songs ever"?? Sounds kinda stink but one of the funniest books I have read in a very long time!!! I am not usually into reviews, I like making up my own mind on things , I feel like its kinda like taking someone's word on what someone else is like without ever having spoken to them. But this was insightful, unapologetic and oh so funny. Reckon everone should read it. And if you don't like it, eh I still do

On the topic of pink walls, at my parents holiday home they had a room that was bright magenta pink with gold strips and green swirls. The house use to be owned by an artist and she was………….creative?? It was a talking piece until my dad woke up with a migraine one day, saw the pattern and vomited (ewwwww). So now it is a easy on the eye lilac colour, not so much a talking piece any more
