A New Roof and a Green Room

Things have been rather chaotic here in Seattle, with loads of construction going on at the house. We put a new roof over the yellow room during the last two weeks and we've been painting all the rooms to get ready for when Polly & Unit move in.














Polly and I have been spending more time in the paint section of the hardware store than is probably good for anyone. It doesn't seem like there are fumes or anything there, but I'm beginning to think that they gas the whole place with some kind of chemical that impairs your ability to select complimentary colors and your better judgement.

We picked out a nice green titled 'May Apple' for Unit's room. We both like apples and May is the time for both our birthdays. On the paint chip it looks nice and subtle, but once that color goes on the walls it turns into a bright neon green! Oh well, Unit will be very visually stimulated. Here's some pictures:

Hey, babies need stimulation! Green was a good choice. The Irish relatives on both sides of the family must be smiling. And by the way, Polly's nursery was green (maybe not quite that bright)when she was a baby and she turned out pretty good don't ya think? Congratulations on getting all that work done!
