Difference of Opinion

One thing you can say about our marriage is that we both do our own thing - sometimes.  Case in point - paint!  In the foreground is the darker teal/payne's gray/dark shadow blue of the color I painted our old chicken house which we use as a potting shed/storage area.  Eventually my husband bought another storage shed and it was placed next to the first one.  This would be the blue and white painted one.  When he asked me what color he should paint it I suggested the same color as the chicken house.  Why? he asked.  Because, I said, I had lovingly selected that color in a photo and the paint man had executed it perfectly.  And besides, they would look better the same color.  But no.  He chose the color that he wanted and so this is what we have.  A difference of opinion.

At least they are in the same colour family.

I'm all for high contrast and variety. It is so difficult for me to make these kinds of decisions, so I think you've done a good job.

Thank you so much for your kind words on my last blog post. Compliments to my mother give me such a warm glow. I would love to be more like her, so thank you for what you said.

Tomorrow is busy day getting ready for Thursday. Will you be very busy....hiding those wild turkeys from evil turkey seekers??? Have a wonderful holiday. Hope everything goes perfectly.

Actually . . . .I think your first photo is beautiful with the contrasting blues. It doesn't help that he's a little color blind either. Oh well, that's marriage isn't it? xobean
