"It's A Condom"..."It's So True"

I faux finished a wall today. i did...all by myself. in part of the massive reconstruction of the upstairs into a Tuscan Paradise, the foyer wall leading into the dining room was painted "navajo red". That apparantly translates into "poop brown" in my book. i know, i know...it's not my house so i don't say anything, but really, i had to draw the line somewhere. and boy was i ever vocal about it. yesterday i had finally had enough and today i toned the poo wall down a few notches. the color we picked out to compliment the doodie ended up looking like the "flesh" colored crayon right out of the crayola box. doesn't sound very attractive i know (who wants to take their interior from "nature's gift" to an infants bottom at changing time), but it really does look good. everything turned out a nice "rusty al fresco". I'm so proud and it only took 5 hours. now i want to faux finish everthing (my dog's next).

oh! it's all so Martha Stewart! i could just puke. next thing you know i'll be making my own marshmallows and toothpaste.

It's a Good Thing.
