So, thanks to a little someone also named Katie (because her mom has good taste like that) I did not paint my walls yellow. She subtly suggested that in combination with my brown furniture my apartment would be the colors often found in a toilet. Although I really liked the cheery yellow wall idea I knew I wouldn't be able to see my living room the same ever again, so I decided on Mardi Gras Green when I found it online. Then I went to the store to pick up the paint chip and totally panicked! It was a lot bolder than I pictured and chickened out and took the way lighter paint sample to my local Miller's to get no VOC paint ("green" green paint - get it! ha!). I was totally kicking myself as soon as I got one wall section painted, shoulda stuck with the first choice. Folks, they call this color Everglade Glen. I call it neon fucking green, but whatever.

Hey, I like it. Does the f bomb mean that you don't??? :)
I like it too! I can't wait to come see it!
tonya: i don't love it. it's not the color i was going for, but i do think i will be okay with it when i get stuff on the walls and get some furniture in there to ground it. i will say though, i think it'll be hard to be sad in that room - so it will do the job! :)
sheila: come up anytime! (except right now, because i'm not there, but when i get back you can come anytime!)
i defy anyone be sad in this mother f-ing green room.
me, i'd just be pissed.
You painted the wall, and then you stood there and went, "HHHHHHHHHHHHHH." Come on. You totally did. For like five minutes.
Neon fucking green aside, that is a dang cute apartment you have there.
