No more design talk

theseaword · August 2014

Seriously. Ya hear me? I am the highly suggestible type. After being somewhat inspired by the design post, I decided to paint my entryway to add some color. DH and I had sworn off painting in this house after we made some horrifying choices in our first house. We decided neutrals were better that whatever the fuck we'd pick out.

But I was feeling bold. So I went out and bought a paint with a color name that matched my attitude: Viking!

I just intended to paint one wall tonight, maybe have a beer and enjoy myself.. After I painted the first wall, DH came over and basically had a panic attack. He had tears of betrayal in his eyes like I had destroyed his dream house. He wandered upstairs as he couldn't watch. So then I started doubting too. And I couldn't just leave it at one wall. I had to find out right fucking now if this was going to work.

Adding to the stress, a big ducking fly shadowed me the whole time, buzzing in my ear like my guilty conscience.

But I did it. I painted the whole thing, and...I think I like it? It looks ok, right?
And I killed the fly.

I like it! When we bought our house I painted our entire living room a blue like that... I loved it! However, it was flat paint and no one told me you couldn't wash flat paint, so it got dingy. I repainted it about a year ago to a tan similar to the one on your kitchen wall.
But enough about my living room... I think it looks good!
