The darker pink is NOT a bright, in-your-face, garish, fluorescent pink outside of really bright sunlight. It is a deep rose colour, very pretty and sophisticated. The paler pink is just about on the coral scale, with a hint of orange. The brown offsets both colours beautifully. I am delighted with my choices and how good the house looks in real life. It really feels like home, not a rental, now, and my yard no longer looks like something you&#8217;d find at a jail! Of course, now the cement flooring looks awful, so cleaning that up is going to be a priority. As will be bringing in more greenery to offset some of that pink!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve just spent a lot on the house in a short amount of time (the painting alone was equal to a mortgage payment). April is going to have big payments to INM and my lawyers. So that&#8217;s it for significant projects until sometime in May. Pool is up next and then I&#8217;m starting on my office!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Post 94 of 263. Thanks again to those who participated in the Fundrazr!
