SimCurt: Technicolor edition

orange painting simcurt

Supplies

As you probably know, I've moved into a new apartment. Well, yesterday, I painted. It's not quite the same orange as autumn blaze: It's called "last tango," and it's bit darker.

I took about 8 hours (including a mandated 2-hour wait before applying the second coat) and almost two gallons of paint to cover the nearly 360-square-foot wall. I left a 2-inch border of white around the edges and the outlets. I'm going to paint a 2-inch border of orange around the outlets and switches on the other walls to bring the color to other parts of the room.

It looks awesome, if I do say so myself.

I bet it's awesome -- the pictures do it justice, no? And you're lucky you get freedom of decoration in your place...all we got to do was bring over our dishwasher, showerhead, and change the faucets.

Fun stuff, that home improvement shit!

it would be so nice to be able to change things like that. I freak out when mocha pukes on the carpet

Wow! That's a bold color -- I like it.

BTW, I saw you at the Thrashers-Ducks game a week or so ago, but you were too far away to catch. Hope all's well, C!
