i am, apparently, phenomenally talented in ways i didn't even know.
since moving into our home 11 months ago, we've painted 5 rooms:
- the family room - studio taupe
- the game room - exile
- the master bedroom - something i can't remember right now khaki
- the bathroom - another name i can't remember that was supposed to be brown
and finally
- the dining room - knapweed
we looked through our giant book of paint chips. we bought paint for the dining room with the plan of getting a color nice enough and neutral enough to continue up the stairway and finish off the rest of the upstairs (excluding bedrooms). we bought 5 gallons of knapweed. and...we painted.
michael and i are good paint buddies. i use the roller and cover a lot of area. he tapes and edges. he's amazing at that and there is never any paint where it shouldn't be. last night, i painted until my tummy hurt and then i let michael finish.
where's the hidden talent you ask? oh yes, well...it seems that no matter what color i choose, as soon as it goes on the wall, it looks GREEN! oh yes, my entire house is green. light green, dark green, it doesn't matter. it's all GREEN!!!
who on earth could choose from hundreds of paint colors over almost a year and choose 5 different colors of green?!?!?!?!
maybe i should play the lotto...

It's all in the lighting...Just wait, you will find a room you want to be green someday and it will turn out to be the most beautiful shade of brown/tan you have ever seen. I have had to repaint several times because of my talents also.
I won't even go into all my ridiculous painting stories...a blog I love reading had a "paint party" a few days ago and many people linked up to it sharing there favorite paint colors and showing pictures of rooms where they used it. Here's the link:

At least when your son is a toddler and starts wiping, ahem, boogers on your walls it will blend in quite nicely, seeing as how they are green and all. =)
hmmm...the whole link didn't go on the comment for some reason. you could still just go to granvillehouse.blogspot.com and the post is only a couple of days old....
