I decided to paint the guest room at my old house yellow. Well, it was yellowish. A shade called Anjou Pear. Also, how is it possible that I can remember a paint color from 2011…but cannot remember a single person's name?! I wanted so badly to love it. But even as I painted it, I knew that it was the single most awful color I have ever picked out for any room…ever. Instead of stopping there and picking out a different color…I convinced myself that it just needed a second coat…and to see it through. Turns out…gray was a much better choice.
