I painted my dining room walls bright green.
The walls used to be tan. Normal, unassuming tan. Almost brown but not quite dark enough to be called a rich brown. Just tan.
I’m not sure what prompted the sudden change to the bright, bold color — but I’m thankful my husband is the patient, willing, heart-of-gold kind of guy that he is. When I said “let’s paint it green!” he said, “okay.” When I said “let’s go to Home Depot right now to pick out colors!” he said, “okay.” When I said “you do the hard part of painting the edges — I’ll use the roller!” he said, “okay.” Because he loves me.
And I love the color green.
And I believe in surrounding yourself with the people, things, experiences… and colors… that you love.
So here’s to our new green room. And the happy life we live in it. Now… if we’d only start eating dinner at the dining room table…
