My pet peeve is houses that remind of lunch meat. For some reason, people around here tend to paint their houses in the exact pinkish tone of bologna. I don’t think it’s intentional who looks at their house and says “I want to put a lot of work & money into my house so it can look like bologna for the next 20 years”. One of the best things we did when redoing the exterior our house was to buy a paint program where we could test different textures & colors. This helped us pick out 2-3 good colors to test and then we could see what it looked like on the outside of our house. I’m not affiliated with this company I just am a big fan of things that are free, and trying to save people from lunchmeat paint colors. This is my favorite free program to use, pick a house that looks like yours & go crazy. It’s coloring books for grown ups. Works for me!

Ugh! Why’d you say that? I have that color KITCHEN and now I’m going to think bologna everytime I go in there.
Look which room just moved up on the priority list. Hehe.

I haven’t seen too many bologna-colored houses around here. Sometimes I see what I call “p*ke beige” houses. Then again, there’s my neighbor, who painted her little house bright yellow and has a red front door. But she’s an artist, and she’s double-weird.

LOL! Great idea! Happy Wednesday – our tip is up as well!

What a great tip! I’ll check this out closer in just a bit.
I’ve posted a WFMW baptism gift tip. Stop by and take a peek.

Teeheehee… I know the exact color you’re talking about. The family across the street from my parents just chose this color…

That’s a neat idea. We don’t have any bologna houses, but we have a bright red one and a bright yellow one around us — and I really don’t like overly bright colors!

Thanks for the idea!

Houses painted like bologna … that sounds like a nightmare come true. But wait … as I look at my walls they are looking a little like lemon sherbert. Hmmm – maybe I’m not the one to be throwing rocks here?

I sooo agree about the bologna paint, but I think hot pink is even worse–there’s one between us and the AF base–ugh! This sounds like fun!
