Painter’s Remorse<\/b><\/p>\n

Dear -ed<\/i> and all the ships at sea,<\/p>\n

I’ve spent the last few weekends at the cabin doing chores, shoring up leaks, and painting. You may know my credo (which I learned from somebody at some point), when selecting colors, select anything but white. White is for rentals, not homes. I agree wholeheartedly so I decided to get a little nutty with the color choices.<\/p>\n

You’ve seen the pictures so you know that the kitchen and the bedroom are green, which is fine. I certainly couldn’t do the living room in the same color—heaven forfend!—so I chose blue. The chip looked like a middle of the road greyish\/greenish blue, so I had Rob Lowe’s (maybe that was his name, I dunno) mix up a batch.<\/p>\n

Now that it’s on the walls, um, well, er, gee. It’s dramatic…or something. It sure doesn’t reflect light and that has made it particularly dark in here right now. I’ll post pictures after I take some more in the daylight, but despite my grousing it’s quite a change and I think I’ll grow to like it.<\/p>\n

I took a chance (that seems to be your modus operandi at the moment, doesn’t it? – ed<\/i> Why not? Time is short, isn’t it? – bob) and maybe this particular gamble won’t work out. I can think of a couple others that have quite nicely though.<\/p>\n

So what’s a little paint?<\/p>\n

Your pal,<\/p>\n

bob<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Here are the pictures I promised. Yeah, I know.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s really quite blue, isn’t it? Maybe it’s “cool and calming” after all, the jury’s still out on this one. <\/p>\n

By the way, did I happen to mention a new geographical feature? Yep, I have my own stream fed by snow runoff in my own humble corner of the world. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you A Jaunty Little Creek!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I can hardly contain myself either.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
