Decorating Disaster! Help!

So, my bathroom used to be this blue. Not a bad color- but kinda boring and kinda dark for such a small space. Plus it really didn't fit in with the warm tones of my family room and kitchen- the two rooms just adjacent to it. So... I thought, I have some extra time during the summer, and I won't be crazy busy, so I'll paint. I've really been meaning to do this since I moved in, almost two years ago, but hey, I'm a busy gal. I decided to take some before pictures so that I could celebrate just how cute the finished product would be in direct comparison.



I've been on kinda a purple kick lately. It can be a great color: not too girly, not so dark, easily compli-mented by a wide choice of contrast colors... so I looked at a variety of shades.

Most importantly, DON"T ALL OF THESE COLOR SAMPLES LOOK


PURPLE?


I chose my favorite and well, this is what I ended up with...


You got it- PEPTO BISMOL PINK!!!


For awhile I was in denial. I thought, maybe it's the lighting, the time of day, maybe the paint isn't completely dry. It's been about three weeks now- the paint's dry. It still looks like an antacid.

Suggestions?
