1. Blue!

I was having the bedroom painted and husband asked for blue. I’d chosen the rest of the home decor including all the other walls painted a subtle neutral. I was bad. I was very bad. I did not select a soft blue. I had it painted the strongest blue I could find. When he returned from work travel he saw the masterpiece. A couple days later he asked ‘do you think it might be a little too blue? Maybe we should just paint it the same color as the rest of the house. The handyman had no issue getting paid again a few days after having just finished the blue masterpiece. Everyone was happy in the end 😂
