The same colors I used on my back porch and in my living room.

Inside my house, that Victorian Pewter color spans the entire wall from my kitchen to the end of the livingroom, with the large opening near the center where the stairs to the basement and to the second floor meet. I have a slightly darker gray in the kitchen on the other three walls in there. I believe there's some green or aqua in it, but you'd never mistake it for either green or aqua. It's unmistakably gray. The name escapes me at the moment though.
He got off work late and my mechanic is still lying to me about getting my car fixed so I sat around all day waiting for either one of them to relieve me of my boredom but it didn't work out.
Tomorrow is another day. I don't know how my friend is going to shampoo the carpet with the pool table slabs on top of it though.
The cold weather is here for good now. It's going to be really fun moving three 200lb slabs when it's in the low 30's. At least we're going down 15 stairs when it gets there. Hopefully there's not a lot of stairs going up where we're getting it from.

It was a surprise but all the other scores were in the 2,000 point range. Mine was the highest at over 3,000 points. I had one decent hand that got me 5 doubles which meant my score for it was over 1,000 points.

My area got a major amount of rain last night along with a warm up and most of the snow around me is gone. Call for more rain tomorrow and into Saturday.

Lady, I work for called at 8:30pm. I got the usual dithering on the phone. But at least I can get a couple of things done before work.

Well that's got to be like the time I opened up a game of Upwords with my Grams with a 7 letter word, but way better because I've only played about 10 games of it and you only get a bonus 20 points for a 7 letter word.
I ended up losing that game because I got stuck with a Q, two K's and 4 vowels after getting rid of all the good letters I had, and because you don't start scoring big until you stack letters on top of other letters you end up being super penalized for a 7 letter word on the first move because it's only worth a total of 27 points!
I think I like Mahjong point rules better.

Thank you.
I helped my friend's dad with a painting job a few summers back and he used two grays and I loved it. The contrast between the two were so much more subtle though, and unless the light was shining in right you could hardly tell that there was an accent wall. The lighter color was darker than my light color and the darker color was way lighter than my dark color.
But what I really loved about the gray colors is how it makes the white trim pop.
I've gotten tons of compliments on that Victorian Pewter color. Surprisingly even by my dad who always complains that the colors I chose for upstairs were too dark.
We only got the first coat of the VP color up on Wednesday, but the way that it comes down the left side of the stairs and wraps around that wall to the accent wall and the soffit above it in the room is really cool. It also covers the wood frame around a white accordian door under the stairs at the end of that wall where the water heater is, and then up high wraps to the top of the next wall where the doors to the raised crawl space are. And at the end of the stairs where the soffit is, there's a large 4" PVC drain pipe that goes down along that far wall and out side of the wall that gets the same color and is going to look real cool with the light grey on the concrete wall behind it.
All of that used to be a real dark brown on top of a gross yellowish tan color on the concrete.
