This Used to Be This

This used to be this.

Raise your hands if you ever opened your eyes one day

and asked

“Who does that belong to?”



Now raise your hands if it is 2011 and said object entered your home in 1990?


This is like the Sci Fi network, right?



Side note:  What was so wrong with the 90’s?

I LOVED BEDAZZLED T SHIRTS.

My main goal was to accomplish the following:

create a soft place for a nap…check

create a cooler (as in temperature) color scheme… check.

I have just been playing with things so far.

I wish I could figure out how to change the stain color of those chairs without

re-upholstering.

Now to the advice:

In order to modernize the lines of the couch,

I had the upholsterer remove the buttons on the back cushions.


I also had him ‘raise’ the cushions about 2 inches higher than the back of the couch.

And now back to the drawing board.

Sherwin Williams’ Reflection is too blue.

Even though I plan to use my very favorite blue and white pieces in here,

I want a softer gray that is just gray.


So far I have looked at Gray Clouds,Stamped Concrete, Silver Mist,

Zircon, Evening Shadow,

and Front Porch,

to name a few.



Next bit of advice.

When looking at color paint strips,

look at the darkest shades on the strip.

That is the real hue of the color you are selecting.


I am off to stare at the paint store.
