Since Snarky is an image posting fool, this entry is continued from Part One below...

 

On to the brightness:

This was supposed to be the Auburgine Anteroom to the Brown Boudoir. The second coat is darker, and the Snarks are planning a third. The Mister is already grumbling about washing over this with either black or dark blue to tone down the pink. PINK!

Behold the pukey green before of the exercise room. This color has been dubbed "shittay" by a close family friend, and the Snarks are not arguing with that. Shittay indeed.

The solution? A little somethin' somethin' called "Glowing Firelight". "Glowing"? Try "Glowering"! Darkity likes!

After one coat. There might be as many as three in this room too. Also eventually a metallic wash over the whole shebang. Because they can.

A shot of the test wall in the living room for the Granny Smith Apple Green. It is a bit brighter than in this shot. Also, yes, the red has GOT to go. This is not Christmasville.

 

Are your eyes now pulsing and watery? The Snarks are enjoying their crash course in color theory. They did not have the opportunity to paint prior to moving in to their last house. While the coming weeks promise to be a hectic scramble to the finish for so many things (the amazingly intricate domino array of contractors needed to just Take a Bath, not to mention the whole "move all the crap in the apartment into the house" manoeuver) (A procedure so complicated it needed extra vowels!) The Snarks are truly enjoying the feeling of putting their (technicolor, barf-up-a-rainbow) stamp on this little house.

 

Last night they even schlepped a few things over to make their first dinner in the house.

Nevermind the fact that they don't have a fridge yet. Brushetta!

 

Snarky would like to leave you with something a little more restful for the eyes. This is what greets them from the kitchen sink when they finally manage to wrestle the battered side door open:

Just breathe...

 

(Thank Beth for Faustus!)

Whoops. Too late. ;) The "shittay green" has a lot more brownish yellow in it than the picture shows. Snarky suspects the flash took out a lot of the "pea soup Exorcist" tones that one can only truly appreciate in person. Or maybe the golden color of the flooring brought out that bit of yuck that turned a perfectly good olive green into whatever this was.

 

And the bruschetta was nummers.

Woo... I love those bright colors! The Mister will adjust. And multi-coating does darken it considerably.

 

The photo of darkity next to the orange paint is priceless!

 

New home, bright colors, nummy food, gorgeous pansies. What's not to like????

Snarky TOTALLY read "gorgeous panties" right there. Valentina's influence is subtle and widespread!

Soon enough, darkity will be buying panties to match the walls!

"Oh! You wanna take this into the living room, you saucy dog, you? Well, um... hold on a sec. Gotta shimmy out of this number and put on the complementary nightie for that room... 'K? It'll be just a second..."

Holy Moly! I am blinded! You weren't kidding when you said technicolor. I'm liking the flaming mulberry color, though. ;)

Snarky's glad to bring a (flaming, radiating) ray of hope into your future homeownership.

 

She and The Mister had a good chuckle over the fact that most of their colors where the darkest, most saturated ones on their respective paint chips.

 

They likes their whiskey straight up, no chaser!
