Deathly Parlor/pallor

Looking eerily grotesque,, as if they've all been pronounced dead and the sheets are raised---- rigid sihouettes leaving one to imagine what must have happened---

WELL GOD FORGOT TO BRING HOME THE DROP SHEETS FOR PAINTING AND NOW ALL OF MY BEDSHEETS ARE SPLATTERED WITH PAINT!!!

And on another note,, have you ever noticed that when you open the can of paint,, the colour bears no resemblance to that little patch of paper you took days labouring over to choose--- and just so you know,, Mema knows this is happening, she helped choose the colour, but methinks we are in for trouble--
the sample SHE CHOSE definitely looked like beige, creamy beige, kind of like a latte coffee beige,,,NOT ORANGE OR PINK!!! So please funny face, don't mention those dastardly colours that we both hate, please say it looks brown to you--- or if you must be honest, try salmon or peachy, even coral but please dont say orange or pink------

Hi Nan,

My suggestion is to mix it a little more.Try out a sample then let it dry. Wet paint usually looks brighter than the intended color. You can compare the sample with the paint swatch you chose once it dries.

LJLC: I know she'll be happy with the cleanliness,,, but orange, not too peachy keen about that colour!!!

HB: Great advice,,, for next time though- sadly. we had already finished !!There's always more rooms --;)

Lizza: Thanks,I guess the orange goes in keeping with the Halloween theme!

H: I may just be hiding when she comes home !!! Give her some time to process the whole thing--- but we'll see-- she comes home on Sunday!!
Fireguy: And if she doesn't love it, do I recall you like to paint??

LJLC: Thanks again for your encouraging remarks-- stay tuned!!

Salmon or Coral...okay...plase more on the coral side than the salmon, that's just too pinky...coral on th eother hand is a good in between color...Just as long as it isn't really pink or orange....And Mema will love it regardless...might take a little time to adapt but she will like it.
Love you lots, and when you talk to my mother tell her I said that she better get to it and blog.
