i love color

each saturday, I increase my meds. So sat, sun. and monday, are rather ickey days... but come tues. I am ready to go. This tues. I decieded to paint the living room.. It has been a creamy yellow for several years... and now it had gotten rather fly spotted, and finger printed. a time for a change.. right? So what color togo with? I love going to the paint section of Home depo. all the colors that i look at are so beautiful... it is hard to choose. I finally went with a color called artic ice. It is blue, with black added, and green added and yellow ocher. It is in a medium value... and when I painted the first wall... I thought it was going to be awful..... but I love it. It is a very calm and restful color. and goes with many things in the room. My living room is early dougal and early roos. In other words. it is mostly furniture that was donated to us. The carpet has been on the floor since 1972.... which would be 37 years. and it just wont wear out... so it will be there for ever. But all in all it is home and I love it.
back to the painting... it took me 2 days to do the job I finally had to have gordon help me move the big oak table... I just couldnt budge it... Now the next part is to paint the woodwork and window sills. They will be white.. and since I am just a little shakey/ I have asked nanette to do that for me. If I did it we would have white windows and curvy lines of paint on the walls. anyway I thought I would let you know about my latest adventure... and what a wonderful world we live in... I love it. love ya robin
