House update: Monday

[electricland]

My aunt reports:

Today for lunch, John and I had tuna salad sandwiches.

William worked on windows.

John picked up a sharpened saw blade, worked on bases on Jen's cabinets, worked out a way to fit in all Jen's cabinets without extra spaces and is now gone off to pick up cabinet backing.

Yesterday, I inspected. The hollyhocks in the front garden add a touch of rustic, domestic sincerity. I love hollyhocks. Jen's green's are luminous.
Cheers, Helen

Have I mentioned how much classier and subtler and more muted Jen's colours are, compared with mine? Well, they are. I really like my colours, but subtle they are not. I fear that we will end up with, respectively, Exhibit A, oasis of elegance, and Exhibit B, Circus Carnival Sideshow.

Oh well, we can always visit each other. And at worst, paint is cheap.

I fear that we will end up with, respectively, Exhibit A, oasis of elegance, and Exhibit B, Circus Carnival Sideshow.

In my house, there is:

• One room with one red wall
• One room with one dark green wall
• One room with one deep blue wall

so if you're a Carnival SideShow, I'm CrayolaLand! ;)

*the other three walls in each room are cream colored. Not to worry, people, even I'm not that much of a wacky artist type.

actually, that sounds nice! Assuming they are nice colours, of course.
