As you probably know and are sick of hearing about, we are trying to pick our 5th (or maybe 6th?) paint color attempt for the living room. I fully acknowledge that everyone thinks we're insane. We're just trying to do a good job with our place so that we don't hate it in 6 months and want to change things.
We recently got two paint samples from Benjamin Moore and the one that we liked better on the wall was Woodcliff Lake:
(No, that's not our livingroom. Settle down.)
But, we are a little worried it is too dark and/or too brown (we prefer a grayer tone). So, we are now considering the two below colors, which I realize are probably barely distinguishable from each other.

I'm not even asking you to vote, though I assume at least one person might have an opinion. I'm just trying to explain to you the joys of paint. You'd think I could do a better job picking colors and being sure about it since I was an art major. I guess I'm not the painting kind of art major. I should stick to line drawing and black and white photography I guess. SIGH.
Important notices
Notice my new header photo! I will try to put a note here anytime I change it. This is from my trip to Italy last September. We had a lovely day at the Avignonesi Vineyards and Winery in Tuscany.
Questions about my new weblog platform?...
Glad you asked. It's a super awesome new platform for creating weblogs or any other dynamic site created by my genius boyfriend Rob (robreed at gmail dot com). Email him and tell him how awesome he is.
Why you should visit this site regularly
Because I'm totally hilarious and mostly all I ever do is get too upset about everything, which is typically entertaining for everyone else.
What's going on right now
We're still working on getting settled at our new condo in East Boston. The living room paint color took four tries and we had to paint the final color twice because we screwed up the wall after the first time trying to put a shelf up. We recently discovered our kitchen sink isn't properly sealed to the counter and leaks. The garbage disposal was also leaking and getting worse. Then it fell off recently and I reattached it, after which the leaks from the disposal stopped. Good thing we're not too scared to do some home repairs ourselves. Someday I hope to decide the place is settled enough to have a long overdue housewarming party.

In Memory of Emily the kitty
Greatest kitty in the world! 1992-2010.
Many of you probably have heard Emily stories. She was a sweet and funny cat who seemed to get more personality every year. Imagine how much she had by the time she was 17 and a half years old!
