My wife and I agreed that after our vacation our next project would be to paint the bathroom. Great, no problem, choose a color and go at it. Wrong!
She brought home a packet of paint samples in all the colors and hues of the rainbow to look over and discuss- yes guys you heard right-discuss.
Here is an illustration of what choosing a color is like when you are married.
Green, ok green is green right? Wrong! There is marsh green, pine, olive fringe, half moon bay, and twenty different shades of teal. The same goes for blue, yellow, red, orange, purple and brown. Then there are the tranquil, lush, complex and subtle moods that need to be gone over and examined. Tones such as monochromatic, analogous and complementary have to be taken into account, because you cannot sit and do your business or shave if a harmonious look of combining light and textures is not achieved.
I picked out a blue that I thought would be nice. We could still use the same towels, shower curtain, rug and toilet cozy that we already had.
Boy, am I an idiot! What would be the point of painting at all if we still used the same frills that we have now? What was I thinking?
We finally agreed on a blue called Worn Denim, which we can accessorize with navy blue trim, and navy blue towels, shower mat, rug and cozies. To get into the spirit of things I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and purchased a Navy blue Lufa and Navy blue trimmed razor handle, all without giving up my man card.
So gentlemen, a word to the wise. Before you decide to shop for paint, know your Lemon Balm from your Melodious Peach, and your Chilled Celery from your Cozy Lilac, but also know that our wives and girlfriends are different from us, in the way they think and the way they imagine the world. Which is a wonderful thing for all of us-otherwise the whole world would be covered in paneling.
