And I call this color...

In fun response to my dear mother's take on my "inspiration", I have decided to make up my own names for these shades. This shade is "Polite Snobbery." Inside the window is "Mermaid's tales," and the wall is "Mermaid's envy."

Making strides

I got to use a hack saw!!!! I made serious improvements in my home.
Vast improvements!
And the guest bathroom! This is the old version...

And the new and WAY improved!!!

Does anyone else see mermaid tails in this?

More before and afters

I don"t recall if I had mentioned it before, but my home came with a lifesize palmtree. Artistic, yes. But it had to go!!!

The 1st palm tree before and after.

No more palm tree!
Blue walls before...

...and after in the shade of Tangerine Dream.

Then I got electrically inclined while waiting for the paint to dry. It sure takes a lot of coats to get rid of smurf blue!!! This was the entry way lighting. Dull. Before...

And after! I had purchased a light on clearance for a whopping $13! Can't beat that, eh? So much happier!

This is the not so pretty "before" picture of the light in the living room. Yawn and yuck! Before...

And after! Also on clearance! Only $25 marked down from $80.

This was the very last box to be unpacked. Wonder what's inside....

Chargers jersey!!!! Woo hooo!!!!

So here's the nearly finished product. I've got freshly painted base boards.

It's a Tangerine Dream to finally have my own home! Thanks for coming to visit! More pictures to come as I finish other rooms.
