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. ;->

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!

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.

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

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.

10455. judithathome - 7/20/2004 5:49:16 AM

We're having our friends from Greece visit after the summer Olympics are over so I will have to get busy and clean this place to within an inch of its dust...won't take as long as you'd think but it will be a daunting chore.

Are you in a house or an apartment...I was telling Keoni last night about your moving to a new place and realized I didn't know which you'd moved to.

10456. alistairConnor - 7/20/2004 6:45:43 AM

I haven't yet put together the chairs I got at Ikea ---- they take up less space unassembled.

for no obvious reason, I damn near pissed myself over this remark.

10457. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 6:51:08 AM

J,

I'm in a front/back duplex --- my half is the front part. It's circa 1950's so it's more like a house than an apartment.

10458. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 6:53:40 AM

AC,

It's funny to me too. Until I get more stuff unpacked and boxes thrown out, though, floor space is at a premium so I haven't put them together yet. Right now they're just two slim boxes that lean up against the wall out of the way. They won't be large chairs when assembled --- just dining table size, but I'm operating on the premise that it's easier and less unwieldy to store a closed umbrella than an open one....


...unless I suspend them from the ceiling.

10459. Magoseph - 7/20/2004 8:31:08 AM

That last sentence just got me but good, as my hairdresser would say.

10460. judithathome - 7/20/2004 8:52:36 AM

So how does your hair look, Magos?

10461. Macnas - 7/20/2004 4:13:37 PM

You know, I'm trying, but I cannot recall what colour our bedroom is.
