Painting disaster!!

We wanted to do one of the bathrooms red and tan.....So we went and bought some paint. We got the tan down and now it was the reds turn. After painting some spots, it looked as if we threw blood on the walls. We tried to ignore it and was hoping we would start to like it, but nope, so Chad tried to lighten in with some white paint, not knowing that when white and red mix it makes a pink. So now we had a bit of pink. We were both so annoyed with it all we just painted it white. It was not a very easy mess to clean up. We couldnt finish it all the way until the next morning when the paint had dried. Total disaster.....and I dont know why I wanted to paint it red? But it turned out just fine.
