Ever wonder what cake batter looks like? If you want to know the exact color, head on over to Lowe's, and look in the "Sally's Neutrals" department of the Valspar line.
I'm on the 3rd counter-offer for a new house in a new city (both suburbs of my beloved New Orleans, of course). The best thing I can say about the house is that there is a second den. That's HUGE! We gain a playroom for the kids, plus we can put the pool table in there, so we also get a net gain of a bedroom. Right now, our pool table is in the formal living room, and our office is in the fourth bedroom. Once we have the pool table in the playroom, we can use the formal living for an office, and we can have company spend the night in a real bedroom without having to displace Little Missy and Big T.
There are two really unfortunate things about the new house, though. One is that the yard is small. We're spoiled now... we have a huge open lot with enough room for Big T to practice baseball and not worry about the balls going over the fence. I'll miss that yard. The man of the house, in his best optimistic style, said he'll have less yard to mow, and that is true.
The other really unfortunate thing is the paint. On the good news front, paint is cheap and I have a vision. Think.... cake batter, deep ocean waters, blue spruce, and tranquility. Lots of color, but GOOD color, as opposed to mud brown and pepto bismol pink. I'll do some before and after shots and put them up... if we get the offer signed! Wish me luck.
