Good with both brick and stone and indeed furniture."<br /><br />"Joa's White®<br />Warm. For devotees of No. 3 Off-White, Joa's White, though just darker, has none of the coolness or perceived greenish nature of No. 3 Off-White."<br /><br />"Octagon Yellow®<br />To match the colour of the Octagon at the Bath Assembly Rooms as repainted in 1990."<br /><br />and yay!

Instead it was like the sun had risen and parked itself in our den. It was so bright, our eyes hurt! A rose by any other name still has thorns.

But who among us would be brave enough to paint their bedroom "Friendship" sight unseen?<br /><br />To me, the color of friendship is directly proportional to the friends I'm hanging out with at a given moment. It may be the deep green of fine marijuana, the pale yellow of dog-eared pages of old books, or the deepest blue late summer sky above you at Yankee Stadium.<br /><br />Turns out that the Interior Latex Paint PhD's have seen fit to make friendship an anemic mauve. Well, I'm definitely NOT going to any of their parties.Pat-Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04171633629725216263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189862499700338748.post-64457005820233832522007-01-21T12:16:00.000-05:002007-01-21T12:16:00.000-05:00HA HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!!
