I decided to put some new color on the walls of my breakfast area before my newly rescheduled party (March 4th, 8pm, be there) and so I hopped on down to Home Depot. Yellow was the decided color, because breakfasts are supposed to be sunny early morning affairs. I spent half an hour pouring over the little cards trying to pick out one that wouldn’t be too bright, too washed out, too dark, or ugly. A tough set of requirements when dealing with yellow. Anyway, picked up the best candidate and headed for home, and spent the day painting. End result: hideous. It looks like a dayglo schoolbus parked in the room. So I get to repaint it a new color. Awesome. I’ll update this with a picture later when I get rejoined with my mini-USB cable.

Update:
Yeah, I’ve already decided on a new color, and in fact have painted the cut-in portion already. The yellow looked okay at certain times of the day but it was heavily dependent on lighting. I also didn’t like the way it drew one’s eye: my living room is kind of an earthy brown (“Brown Bread” I think) and my kitchen is a light gray. So when you walk into the foyer you have this blaring yellow that jumps out among the more muted tones of all the accompanying rooms. The new color is kind of a desert sand with yellow tint, Behr’s “Pismo Dunes.” Yes, the molding will be bright white.
Rabbit-world Bob looks pretty happy though!
Wow… so that’s where he disappeared to. $5 to the first person to find his lawblog.
