Painted House
As much as I wanted to finish those darn ribby sleeves, I wanted a freshly painted living room more. The DH and I prepped the room on Friday night, spackling and taping — it made all the difference. The next morning, we got up at 6:30 am to be at Home Depot by 7 am, picked up the paint and started painting by 8 am. We painted the living room a nice light but muted apple-green colour — it’s called “Crisp Celery” at the store.
My parents rented this house when my dad was a grad student at UBC in the 1970’s. They subsequently bought the house and twenty-six years later sold it to us just this past summer. My mom really likes that dark moss green colour that the old tenants used to paint that odd indoor scalloped awning, so I’ve taken pictures for historical reference… in case she asks us to paint it back the way it was before!
I love the color you chose!
