Painting, Part II

Regard the beauty of my home office:



Once again, it's hard to capture this color well on film. It's a very bright, grassy green that's neither as chartreuse-y as the first photo nor as sage-y as the second one; it looks as though it belongs in a sun-flooded room in someone's country home on a breezy summer day.

I'm already 100% more inclined to spend time in this room.

Are those built-in bookshelves? So jealous! Love the color, too. You have excellent taste. :)

I love that green! It looks fabulous. I'm jealous out here in the land of beige walls and no built-ins.

That is *great*! I love the colour. And am particularly struck by how the old-fashioned desk lamp works with the green of the walls. Well painted!

You get to have summer all year long now! What a great color!

I'll come visit, too!

Thanks! And yes, PhD Me: it is a built-in bookcase (singular). I wish there were more than one, or that there were room for other (non-built-in) ones in the room, but it's a fairly small space and the most likely wall has a huge radiator along it. Still, I'm delighted with what I've got.

Ooh, lovely! And your desk between those windows; oh, you're going to get so much fabulous work done in that room, I just know it!

beautiful! That was exactly the color I had originally envisioned for Squirt's room but we had such a hard time actually finding it. (In the end marielle helped us choose a lovely creamsicle-peachy color instead.)

so nice to envision you in your new digs...
