The fact is that it's "sellable beige". I just don't have guts or conviction for the bolder choices. A red kitchen would be totally out of my grasp. Not that I wouldn't like it, I just couldn't do it. <br /><br />Also I'm completely out of imagination...the rancho project sucked every bit of it out of me. <br /><br />I'm throwing on my beige jacket over my beige pants to get into my neutral colored car to go to Temecula to buy some more bland stuff. <br /><br />What do you expect from somebody who likes all the books?

But, as...I don't think that was a lottle mauve.<br />But, as much as I love color, I've been wanting an all-white house for a long time. I mean really white- no mauve, no blueish, no cream. WHITE!<br />Painters hate white, for some reason. They've always managed to talk me out of it. Their favorite color is Navajo White, which is ,of course, really cream. All apartments are painted this color because it is so unoffensive to everyone.<br />I do really like the colors that you've labeled "new colors". When it comes to beiges I like "taupy" beiges.<br />Nancy and I both had the "now out of favor" red kitchens. Nancy still has it and it looks great. However you're sure right about the saleability factor. When I was showing my house with the red kitchen to some prospective buyers the husband said " Of course we'd have to paint this right away".<br />P.S. You made me laugh out loud,once again, with the Ogden Nash quote. <br />BarbaraNorth County Film Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683794164957833415noreply@blogger.com
