Is this Mortality?




He who has the paint & time is the winner. Allan acquired five gallons of Mortality (name of color) paint from a job he did. He wanted to surprise me by painting a few walls in the family room and all of the living room. Jory was going to help him. The job was delayed due to a mishap Jory had. In the meantime Allan told me his intentions. I was in agreement to paint the family room, but had reservations about painting the living room. I loved the light walls and felt the darker paint would be too much. I asked Allan to paint the office and dining room instead because they needed it more or to wait.

While I was in Washington, the job was very nicely accomplished Allan’s way. The contrast in the living room with the ceiling and crown mold is very distinctive. But, do I like it? Not really, however, he did such a nice job which includes replacing all the furniture, cleaning up the paint tools and not saying anything about it. It took about twelve hours before I even noticed. Then I realized it is just for mortality and I can have light and airy another day or life.

I think it looks nice in the living room. It seems to match the couch really well. I'll have to reserve final judgement, however, for when I see it in person in June.
