Citrus

I really wasn't planning on doing this much today. Got carried away. Now it feels like this room has the light on before it's turned on.

Messy, but bright and cheerful.

I like being able to be messy and calling it good enough. Let the next owner paint neatly if they like. I'll be gone by then and past caring. I'm anti-perfectionist.

...the term ‘perfect’, which stems from the Latin perfectus, meaning complete, has been placed on an undeserved pedestal in many cultures, especially the West. Prioritising flawlessness and infallibility, the ideal of perfection creates not only unachievable standards, but misguided ones. In Taoism, since no further growth or development can take place, perfection is considered equivalent to death.

New faucet vibrates. Seems not like it's new, but like it's what should have always been here.


Not quite done, but I can't reach that corner until everything gets shifted back. Have to wait for paint to dry. Not quite bored enough to just watch it.

Wow, what a beautiful yellow. It seems to grab the sunlight and scatter it all around the house.

Yellow is probably the one color I would want to still see if all the other colors disappeared; that and sky blue, so I guess yellow has company.

Crow,

It's a nice citrus golden hue. A lot of yellows can look dingy in large areas, I think. A strong, clear, orangish yellow helps. Also, it's not a solid, even coverage, but a bit blotchy and transparent in spots, which adds depth and complexity.

Never my favorite color, but nothing would look right without it.
