coinkydink?

I went to buy paint for my living room today. It's called Burnt Brick and is one of the few house colors that won't be historic. When I was checking out the cashier complimented the color (they always do). She also said, "It matches your hair." It does. Then I started thinking that the kitchen color is roughly the color of my eyes (they have less green) and the dining room is about the color of my skin when I'm at my most tan (which is pretty pale). Coincidence? Who knows. I certainly didn't do it intentionally. But unless I want to paint something the color of the freckles my knees get in the summer or the color of my lips or gums (or teeth or fingernails), I'm pretty much through with using me as inspiration.

So really, you're making the interior of your house camouflage, so no one will know where you are standing.

Genius.
Brilliant!! And? You have a room the color of your BRAIN! How cool is that?

Ha...yes, I guess at least for now I do have a room the color of my brain. That's funny. And the color-of-my-hair living room is rockin'.
