Dining Room Painted Seafoam Green

I had only 2 things to be done today: a small batch of jeans to be washed, and painting the dining room. Gerick wants to finish putting the dining table together and then get his aquarium running again. Its impossible to do that until the walls are completed. Meanwhile, only 1 fish is still alive and the aquarium plants are okay. We’ve got to get it done (and pretty much start over with the fish.)

But yesterday and today are Gerick and Tad’s long days where they work some 13 hours and carpool together, so they were too beat after work to do much beyond eat, relax, and then go to bed early. If I got the dining room painted today, Gerick can finish the dining room Friday night– and I know he’ll want to! He’s waited so long already, but other projects took precedence.

Darcy helped me and we got that dining room painted! Its a bright, light, and cheerful green– almost a seafoam, but not quite. It may be hard to believe that any color could look lighter than off-white, but I’m telling you THIS color makes white look drab. Its almost too bright… almost. However, being on the north side of the house means it gets far less light than the south side, and it needs help to keep from being a downer dark room, especially in a region that is known for its dark and dreary weather most of the year. My goal is to use color to psychologically induce a better attitude, and I’ve applied that throughout the house.

I think it works. I will be taking pics later and you can judge for yourselves of course.
