10426. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:22:57 AM Really? I can't abide paper myself. 10427. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 12:24:19 AM Call me crazy, but it seems to me that there would be a market for wallpaper that didn't have to be glued down all over the place. Say a big roll of butcher paper with a colored or patterened side that could be attached at the edges but wouldn't require steaming and the like to get it off later.
Or perhaps there is such a product and I just haven't come across it.
Time to Google. 10428. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 12:25:45 AM I prefer paint to paper, but it's not my house and there's only so much effort I want to put into it when I leave.
But I really really want red walls. 10429. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:31:16 AM You could rent the room to a slaughter house for a week or so. 10430. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:34:10 AM You could rent the room to a slaughter house for a week or so. 10431. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:35:58 AM Well, if I was nearby I'd be happy to help, but instead I'll have to shout encouragement from across the Atlantic ocean.
See you tomorrow. 10432. angel-five - 7/20/2004 12:55:13 AM Brick Oven Pizza in Baltimore is the bomb. Try their caper, artichoke, cherry peppers and mushroom pizza if you get there. The fact that you can see the open hearth with the wood burning in it adds to the touch, and the pizza was just superb (tho Woden tells me that Matthew's Pizza in Baltimore is much mo' betta).
Usually tho I just make my own. 10433. angel-five - 7/20/2004 12:55:44 AM Red Walls Do Not Sound Relaxing To Me.
10434. angel-five - 7/20/2004 12:58:07 AM Back to pizza -- Yes, anything goes on a pizza, but I'm not much for fish on pizza. Clams, crab, langostinos, all good. Fish I'll leave for ser Connor. 10435. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 2:41:34 AM Thanks, Mac! I'll figure it out. I may just paint and worry about covering it later. I mean, that's at least a year away. I could get hit by a bus between now and then and not have to worry about it. ;-> 10436. arkymalarky - 7/20/2004 3:27:01 AM Message # 10415
I love it. A non-practicing vegetarian. 10437. angel-five - 7/20/2004 3:41:41 AM I think you should stucco the walls with wet plaster, thoroughly paint them a rich blue color, and then lightly paint the crests of the stucco with either a violet-red or a sea green.
If you're gonna have red walls in the bedroom please don't hang any Helter Skelter posters there. 10438. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 4:04:23 AM hahaha, nah, I'm going for more of a Victorian look. I have to be careful or I'll end up with turn of the century bordello instead. 10439. angel-five - 7/20/2004 4:08:38 AM I think the Navy commissioned a study on what colors were soothing and what colors weren't. Greens and blues ranked highest on the scale of soothing, red (not a surprise) tended to make people in the room more anxious and irritable.
My bedroom is painted jungle green. 10440. arkymalarky - 7/20/2004 4:13:53 AM Mine is a deep, almost midnight blue. 10441. arkymalarky - 7/20/2004 4:14:31 AM My diningroom is more a jungle green, which is fitting. 10442. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 4:16:47 AM My old bedroom was a deep green ---kind of like forest moss--- for a couple of years. I loved it but I got tired of it. Yellow is one of those colors that's supposed to be irritating even though it seems like it should be soothing.
I like red. It makes me happy. I find it cosy and womblike.
If I go nuts and slaughter a bunch of people in the next few months, though, you can tell everyone that you warned me. ;-> 10443. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 4:18:49 AM Arky,
Does this mean that you regularly stalk your dinner before devouring it? 10444. arkymalarky - 7/20/2004 4:25:39 AM If you're smart, you do. And we always look over our shoulders when we eat. 10445. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 4:29:17 AM I sat on an overturned milk-crate last night and ate off the pull-out cutting board in the kitchen. The dining room table's still stacked with boxes and I haven't yet put together the chairs I got at Ikea ---- they take up less space unassembled.
I've set a goal of getting through two columns of boxes tonight. If I can manage that then I'll have cleared the table and be able to put my chairs together.
Wheee!
