Got Paint?

[Carols Clucks]

You are going to love this LauraJean

I was showing mom some paint color ideas for the spare bedroom (her room but she doesnt know it yet)

She wants a purple color (maybe she does know it is her room....)


So while you are covering texturing and covering purple, I will be smoothing and turning walls purple.

I'm enjoying this thread a lot! Laurajean, is joint compound different than drywall mud? I honestly don't know. I LOVED your Dad's response, he sounds like a great guy! BTW, supurb reply on page 5.

No, no, no, no.... don't do it, I beg you. It's AWFUL. Purple can be a pretty color, but I really don't think an entire room should be painted purple. At least go for a PALE purple. Or better yet, talk her into a neutral color and add lots of (removable) purple accents and decor stuff. DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, joint compound and drywall compound are the same, also called mud. I loved my dad's response too. He said a bit more, but I couldn't post it.

Oh, and thanks.

Pale lavendar with cream colored trim and light sage accents are my favorite colors for a room. No I don't have one. I have a Ken instead. And half the living room is Cape Cod Blue. I love it!!

PALE, okay, I could see that (wouldn't want it, but I could see it). But my bedroom was screaming bright purple. It was just hideous.

Yep, and it's a REALLY small room, so it just looks like a tiny purple box. Just god awful.

When we moved into our last place, one of the bedrooms was painted black. Talk about a box.
