WHAT??!?!!!

This isn't a picture of my floor. I WISH it was paint on the tile (or is that linoleum). Today I took my red wicker rocking chair out onto the back porch to spray paint it black. It turns out that the red doesn't match anything I have. Who knew. I put it on a big plastic drop cloth and began to spray. Once I ran out of paint I came inside. I had been painting in my bare feet, and proceeded to walk across my almost white carpet. I didn't think anything of it. Then I looked down and saw my footprints on the carpet. You can imagine my hysteria. I scrubbed the hell out of it, but it's still wet so I can't tell if I did any good or just smeared it around. This is my 2nd paint fiasco in a week. My dad was here for a couple of days, and he helped me paint my kitchen. It had this hideous dark green wallpaper on the walls. Dad & Kacey took the paper off the walls while Matt & I went to see the new Harry Potter movie. I decided to paint it a dark gray after seeing a house in a magazine that had a gray kitchen. My mixer is pink, as are most of my kitchen accessories, & the gray really looks good. What I didn't realize is that my kitchen cabinets are a very, very pale green color! Can you believe that all this time I thought they were an off-white?!?! How unobservant can a person be??? So, I now have black footprints in my white-ish carpet, and green cabinets in my gray kitchen. Excellent. My goal of having the tackiest house in Texas is finally within my grasp!

You need to see before pics of Kate's house in Utah. She thought her ceiling was off-white until she painted the walls, come to find out the ceiling was pale purple...awesome!

so, what are you going to do with the kitchen? will you paint the cabinets? maybe you guys should all step in paint and walk all over the carpet and make a design out of it!
