[at-l] OT quest shun

I don't think it's the curlers, Kel.  LOL

At our house, we have crown molding and baseboards throughout.  And, all of
the trim is stained a darkish oakish color.  In the living room, the walls
are gray with a white ceiling and this dark molding.  Though my furniture is
dark, so it ties right in.

However, my middle daughter picked out a Pepto Bismo PINK.  And, I mean a
***LOUD*** pink for her room.  My mom and dad can see the glow from their
front porch when she turns on her bedroom light of the evening.  Now, in
there, the trim doesn't really fit in.  At all.  No way Hosea!  LOL PINK
walls, dark trim, and white ceiling...it's less than appealing...way, way
less.  But, she likes it that way.  Unbeknownst to her, I plan on sneaking
in there an painting her trim white...I know that doesn't help the pink
issue, but at least it will be just less than appealing then (instead of
way, way less.  lol).

In my office, I still have the white walls, but I plan on painting them with
various leaves, animals romping about, and the AT running across the wall
behind my computer.  My husband hates the idea, but I can't wait to get
started on it.  At any rate, I plan on leaving the dark trim in there also.

I think the key here is that if you are going to go with a color on the
trim, go with your ceiling color or even a color that you want to bring out
in the room.  Just an idea.

> Okay, all the trim and stuff in the house is painted white.  Now, we're
going to be painting the walls that rich buttery color I was talking about,
and I think I've convinced the boy to do the moldings in white, otherwise,
he's going to be the one, and the only one, painting window trim and base
boards and molding.  Ha!  So there.  Now, should we leave the ceiling white,
or paint it a lighter shade of that butter color?

are gone, and I'm sitting at my desk with curlers in my head!  I slept in
and didn't get up until 8:00 and came to work with my hair wet.  Now, I'm
going to go put my makeup on.  I get a tad silly on Fridays. I love Fridays.
It's like an eve to a holiday.  And Saturdays and Sundays are holidays for
us workin' stiffs.

with bright red and green chili peppers. Stuff like that.
