But I have solved the solution in that I have found one color (cafe'au lait) and am sticking with that for every room. Boring? No. Everything looks crisp, clean, and I can add color with artwork, furniture, pillows, etc. I am FINITO with picking out paint for our walls.Maria (also Bia)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915816897999091636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-47689130074505706572014-09-27T14:21:16.036-04:002014-09-27T14:21:16.036-04:00That teal isn't bad, actually.

I can no longer schedule anything without consulting three calendars.

Forced into making a selection in a short period of time, to appease my children who were painting my bedroom, I chose what only could be described as, "Depressing Blue". Somehow "Mystic Water" wasn't even close to being calming, more deadening than everything.<br /><br />A month later, I painted it a nice neutral shade of oatmeal, myself. Think uncooked, not cooked. Much better.<br /><br />Two weeks ago I went and splurged, SPLURGED on a mountain lake scene quilt that I still feel uneasy over the price. It looks okay in the oatmeal colored room, but I have a feeling it might have looked spectacular with "Mystic Water."<br /><br />No. I refuse to change the paint color again.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08556301919720689325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-74201894785064301662014-09-25T12:58:57.615-04:002014-09-25T12:58:57.615-04:00I wish I could post photos in blog comments like o...I wish I could post photos in blog comments like on Facebook, because I saw one of a treadmill desk that is shaped like a hamster wheel -- and a post with instructions for building it. I would like to own that for about ten minutes because I, too, feel like I'm on a hamster wheel every. single. day. I have a tough time with picking paint colors, but I must say that green is gorgeous. Gorgeous.

It sounds exhausting just reading about it. <br /><br />I have found that home repair always takes twice as long as I think it should. We recently had a plumber come to fix a leaky pipe, for which he cut a hole in an outside wall. But the plumber "doesn't do carpentry" so we had to scramble to finish the job ourselves before the first freeze.<br /><br />Paint colors, yeah. They're all named after food.Common Household Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715969218648104267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-44375611611984094862014-09-24T21:57:51.561-04:002014-09-24T21:57:51.561-04:00Whack a mole.

But your game sounds a little crazier than usual.<br />Paint names make me think of the lip gloss flavors of my youth. <br />I'm glad your man caved on the handyman thing. Good thing to keep the peace!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
