Let there be paint!

I *have* to decide on a paint color for the kitchen. Currently, it's red. I had wanted it to be pink. Didgeridoo Boy and our contractor convinced me turquoise would be a better option. Then I wanted it purple. Then white, with black and white tile trim and red cabinet knobs. For a while, I wanted "kawaii" - - - couldn't settle on a main color for it, really, I just knew I wanted little smiling sandwiches and astonished-looking sushi nestled amidst dreamy-faced polka-dotted flowers. Or something. Then pink came back to haunt me - I think I actually posted on that. Hello Kitty came for a visit. Pink and Hello Kitty left, orange came in, as did yellow, and then I went back to white. Then I decided I might like a brighter red. Didgeridoo Boy suggested KISS and Alien, with Lego accents.

I keep going back to pink. Not suburban come-see-my-pink-kitchen kind of pink, where the idea being conveyed is that it is a rather saucy idea to have such a thing when what's really happened is a little sanded-down and blah. I'm talking damned well pink, perhaps with lingerie references. What about black lace-inspired stenciling? Why not embrace the naughty, smartass side of pink?

Tune in tomorrow for the next color I've settled upon.
