We have one room that has never been painted: the master bath. It still has the pitiful coat the scab painters applied when we built the house during a local strike.
Now that three decades have passed, and we are waiting for the ceiling guy to apply the popcorn to the ceiling (because it was that or de-popcorn the rest of the house), Gary said he wanted me to paint the virgin bathroom.
I thought somehow this paint color would be a good idea. For a bathroom..
I showed that photo to the lady who had mixed it at the hardware store. She thought a moment and said “… that’s a crappy color.”
(Also, the painter in me says I could just add a glaze of linseed oil and a transparent yellow, then maybe scumble it with white and it would match. And look less like poop.)
But instead I have done things the right way now, with paint cards and sample pints, and the bathroom is now to be … wait for it … sea foam. Just like every bathroom I pooped in growing up. It will be more appropriate than the brown as long as I don’t get porphyria.
