. . . Now You Don't!

So the floor (damn floor) has a new color. Again.

Why is it that people come up with the most negative color comparisons possible when painting? I'm guilty myself. My fantastic silver wall, for instance, reminded me of aluminum. Of tin foil. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

This new color... it isn't as fantastic as I hoped.

I'm afraid anyone with a digestive tract will see what I'm seeing. I've painted my floor . . .

Shit Brown.

And worst of all I chose semi-gloss so it looks, well . . . runny.

I didn't plan this. The color's official name is Olive Loaf. At the time I wanted something dark, but not black. And something with a little green so it would go with the walls. Olive Loaf to the rescue. How could I possibly go wrong? Chocolate is the "new red," and this is like chocolate, but with a touch of green.

The obvious comparison didn't spring to mind until the floor was halfway finished.

Maybe it will look better after I've added the metallic accents. Maybe.

I think I'll take a Pepto-Bismol tablet and sleep on it.
