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! 10446. arkymalarky - 7/20/2004 4:30:06 AM I generally am not too fond of green, and when I did my kitchen/dining/living room the carpenters were looking at eachother and my husband like "she's gone nute" but I have the same colors I started with (all over the house, for that matter), and I still love them.
BTW, our house is yellow on the outside. I've got to post some pictures here soon. I've got them now and am set up to do it. I just need to get an account in Shutterfly. Maybe I'll do that later today or Thursday. I won't be around during the day tomorrow. I've spent the last few online days working on getting my computer to the perfection it was before I left for vacation. It's much better now, though it may never be quite the same. 10447. arkymalarky - 7/20/2004 4:31:28 AM We still haven't taken everything out of our car from vacation.
I don't know why I'm compelled to tell stuff on myself like that. 10448. arkymalarky - 7/20/2004 4:32:03 AM nuts, not nute 10449. jayackroyd - 7/20/2004 4:46:09 AM Standard Manhattan off white here, except the kitchen which is a daring mustard yellow. 10450. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 4:47:37 AM oooh! you rebel, you! 10451. judithathome - 7/20/2004 4:51:34 AM My whole house is white...every room. But there are interesting things on the walls, at least. 10452. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 4:56:19 AM You have a fascinating house, Juditha. I could spend hours just looking at things there. It's like a live-in museum but completely cozy, not cold or fussy or untouchable. 10453. judithathome - 7/20/2004 5:10:17 AM We have some antique dust here and there right now, MsNo.... 10454. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 5:29:42 AM hahaha, yeah, I'm doing a lot of dusting as I go along.
