Quit my day job?

I like to think of myself as a creative person with a good visual eye. I love seeing a project come together, the process as it goes from conception to reality.

I enjoy decorating my home and find contentment in bringing life to our walls. Just as I have been really looking forward to seeing our basement project come together.

My husband and I joke about "KK Designs" and "BK Designs," as we argue over what paint color to choose in the store. He wants this, I want that. We just never seem to be on the same page.

B: "C'mon, just let BK Designs take this one."
Me: "Ohhhh, no. Because then KK Designs will be forced to ride in and save the day."

It's quite humorous. Trips to stores such as Lowes, Home Depot and Sherwin Williams never go smoothly. I'm absolutely certain that the employees of these places think we are absolutely nuts.

So, we picked out a paint color this weekend. Not going to lie, it was mainly my decision. I happened to win this particular battle of KK vs. BK, but he did agree.

Well let me just say, I will not be quitting my day job anytime soon to start KK Designs and become an interior decorator.

The paint color was wrong.

And so was the second one.

Yes peeps, we are now in the process of picking out a third paint color.

In my defense though, the lighting in our basement is just off. The sales lady couldn't believe the original color with a rich blue hue undertone was looking like "baby blue." Oh, and the second color? More of a grayish blue. Well, it just wasn't what we wanted either. Too light.

So, as much as I don't want to admit it or give in, I am officially biting the bullet and turning this one over to BK Designs.
