Today was Christmas, so I celebrated by priming the basement. It looked like this. Pretty snazzy, huh?
And because I was feeling really ambitious tonight, I decided to put the first coat of paint up (hey, it’s not like I have to work tomorrow! Just take Anya to the doctor’s office and pick Kenny up at the airport!). While we were at the store, trying to pick out just the right green, we went back and forth on many colors. Asparagus. Carolina Parakeet. Pregnant Gecko. We thought we had one we liked, but when we looked at it under the little light box at Lowe’s, it seemed too dark. We like bright. Happy. Cheerful. So we chose another one in the same family. And it’s bright, alright.
I believe the swatch is called Muppet In A Blender.
Hahahah, that’s certainly GREEN!
“It’s not easy being green…”
Ugh…
Hey there… That’s really Green. If Kermit came to visit, he would be pleased. It’s a bit dark for me though. With the paint on the walls, how do all the seams look? When do you plan to put down the floor and move in the furniture? Love you guys a bunch.
OOPS! {;-o) I hit submit two times and you got my comments twice. Now I know. I should have hit the Preview button. I won’t do that again. Is there a way to take it out if I mess up again? Oh well!
We have to wait for more moola to get the underlayment stuff before we can put the floor down. Then all the trim has to be done, so it’ll be a while. The paint definitely isn’t what we wanted, but we’ll live with it for a while. Perhaps if we get zany sheets and stuff, the paint will make sense.
Wow! And I thought my kitchen was bright green! I painted our kitchen a color called “Crisp Pear.” When I got it home and opened the can, I swear it looked like it would glow in the dark. Fortunately, once it dried, it went back to looking like Crisp Pears, so it turned out OK.
Hey, at least your paint sort of matches the avocado on Anya’s face in the photo lower down on the page!
