For a photographer, I sure am stupid about color sometimes. Here’s the deal: Meghan is out of school for the summer. She wants to paint the living room while she has all of this time off. We look at colors, lots and lots of colors. She wants something more peachy, but I want ORANGE! Not Clemson orange, mind you, but something with orangy undertones. I don’t know why, but I’ve always wanted an orange room. There was much debate over the colors. We finally compromise on a color. It looks fine on the card. Meghan goes to Lowes and gets three gallons of the paint. I go to work. I get a call a few hours later. “Honey, can you come home? I think there’s a problem with the paint.” I go home. The f-ing walls are PINK! I’m talking Miami South Beach, color of Don Johnson’s shirt on Miami Vice pink. Somehow on our walls it mutated. Needless to say, my wife is not happy. I keep leaving the room and peeking around the corner really fast hoping that maybe if I catch the paint off guard it will be a decent color. Alas, it wasn’t. There is a bright side to this story which I wrote in present tense for some reason. We decided to color wash the walls. This enables us to keep the pink base coat but add two different colors mixed with a glaze on the top. We did a wall last night and a wall this morning and they look super cool. Whew. I’m taking vacation next week. Meghan and I will be going to D.C. to see Da Peeg and Stacy. We will also go to Charlottesville, Va. to see Meghan’s Aunt in the convent there and see Monticello. Should be fun. Joe and Nick are going to come and house sit for us to make sure Liebten doesn’t tear up the place. She’s never been left alone that long. A bored Liebten is a dangerous one. 7/10/2002 09:52:00 PM |
