Have you done anything bold lately? Stepped out of your comfort zone? Done something totally uNexPEcteD? I have, oh gosh, I have!! Well, I’m about to. Tomorrow. *insert yikes emoji face x 12* I will personally send a yet-to-be-decided prize to the first person who can correctly guess what it is. (This doesn’t include the several people who already know). I’m being cryptic, yuck so sorry. But I will tell you soon enough, don’t you worry.
Anyway, this post isn’t about me, it’s about Erin and her bold choice of passionate pink paint for her console makeover. Have you painted something bold lately? Or ever? If not, why not? Are you scared? That’s unacceptable. It’s just paint my friend. Are you averse to bold colors? Are you? Are you reeaallly? Maybe you’re just scared. I really think that’s what it comes down to 99% of the time. Don’t be. Try something bold and fun, try a color that calls out to you and whispers to your heart “Look at me! Love me!”
Erin had never used this color before, but she did have a blazer that she loved to wear in an identical shade, so with that boost of confidence, she went for it. And guess what, yes you are right, she’s so glad she did. Love it. See more at DIY Passion.

September 28, 2018 at 5:38 PMI’m curious how a price be “yet to be decided”, but people already know what it is?
I’m going to guess the price is a bathroom makeover.
Yes, I have done bold with paint before. Unfortunately, I didn’t like the results. I keep thinking one day I will redo it, but since we don’t go in that room often I am not reminded very much of how I don’t like it. I painted a bathroom something close to this color: http://www.everystockphoto.com/photo.php?imageId=11104107. I knew it could really put some life into the bathroom or it could really look bad. It went bad.
I’m not afraid to try it again though…some day.

September 30, 2018 at 9:43 AMI like to use bold colours in unexpected places, like utility rooms and closets. So, you’re walking through my home, surrounded by comforting tones, you open the door to the utility room and BOOM! Brilliant Granny Apple Green & you are. Blown. Away.
Maybe you’re an overnight guest and you’re calmed by the walls of soft sage and the smokey blue suede bedthrow, then you open the closet and BLAM! Electrifying Turquoise and you’re all like, ‘Whaaaat? I luv this!’
Maybe you have used up all 6 towels I left for you and so you go to pinch another from the laundry room, you open the door and WHAMMO! Sunshine Yellow that you never saw coming and you’re wondering if you even KNOW me.
Bold colour in unexpected small spaces (where very little time is actually spent) is my way of being playful with my home. Though I couldn’t live fulltime in techni-colour, every time I open a door on one of these vignettes it makes me smile & love my spaces!

September 30, 2018 at 8:45 PMOH MY GOODNESS, Mrs Shoes! I LOVE that! I painted my closet interior a shocking pink (I have a hubby and 4 boys, that pink had to show up SOMEWHERE!) . I’m going all in and slapping some vibrant paint on some other closets. What a fun way to play with color!!!
