As some of you know the huge selling or renting point for our current house was the breakfast nook. I have a history of renting houses based on one feature alone (purple toilet in Corvallis anyone?) but really that is the luxury of renting you can be ridiculous without signing your life away. Ever since we moved in I have been dying to rip down the hideous wallpaper in the nook and put a fresh coat of paint up instead but I held off on asking permission from the landlords for fear of being rejected. Well, this spring weather got me in a painting mood and I couldn’t take the nasty wallpaper any longer, I mustered up the courage to ask and they said YES! I am so pumped, I have all the wallpaper down, it surprisingly came off without any aid. Now I am nearly done washing the walls to remove the old glue and then I should be painting in just a few days, once I recover from my night shifts that is. Here is a picture of the nook without wallpaper (there was old pink paint under the old wallpaper)…
As you can see I have some shades of yellow, right now I am leaning towards Lemon Chiffon, I like the way that sounds, it is a little more sophisticated than when I painted my room in college a shade of green called “Salty Margarita”. Below is a picture of the nook with the wallpaper…
Coming soon pictures of a fresher nook!

Wow! It looks so different. Do you have to get the color preapproved?
The color does have to be preapproved,
however she is paying for the paint so I am happy so long as it is fresh paint!
Wooohooo! You just got to wear those mofos down! Was the purple toilet on 10th Street? The house next to that house is currently for sale, wish we could buy something right now, there are a ton of houses on the market all of the sudden around town.
Saaaltyyy Maaar ga rita!
Fresh nook? Fantastic!
