Happy Belated Birthday Adam. Hope you "Enjoyed" the last year of our Glorious Leaders reign. What a Birthday present! Here's to a better next year.

Thanks for the Birthday wishes everyone. The day was taken up with moving and it's aftermath. Had to look away when the movers decided it was easier to heave various pieces up and over the deck than navigate up a flight of stairs, but they are the professionals 🤷‍♂️ Then out for a Birthday Meal at a highly rated local dining establishment https://maps.app.goo.gl/3axzZPydB9u67P9y5 While we waited for a commercial sized load of bedding to be washed. Tasty Large portions, enough for lunch the following day. Brent would have felt at home.

Went from Via To They say that moving is a major life stressor. I can believe it. It's almost like I feel a year older! Time for bed!

And after all that headed down to Burlingame to catch up with Joannes tall Australian nephew to hear all about his project work for Nvidia before catching the red eye back to New York. He very kindly gave us his'n'hers house warming gifts from Joannes sisters and himself. Also spotted in Burlingame

Revised our plans ... To match reality For the big move tomorrow. The accent wall is on hold, for now.

Turned out nice.

Todays painter progress Can you tell the difference between the Desert Tan in the South Facing "Primary" bedroom - the previously accepted term is no longer PC, apparently, And the Rich Cream in the north facing bedrooms/planned offices. ?

(or rather what the painter did today)

Oh you heard about the Accent wall in the lounge? Lighter/ Darker / Shorter / Longer ? Previous short / long comparison OK long it is, But Rich Cream? Or Desert Tan? The Correct Answer, as always, is: Yes, Dear.

^ And Blurple?

But wait. There's more! Joanne is having second thoughts on the north facing rooms and is considering something lighter ( or technically a higher LRV) so our friend with taste (she worked professionally with fabrics and has a good eye) suggested "Rich Cream" as a lighter alternative to Desert Tan. A soft beige sweetened with a touch of peach, this neutral brings to mind a decadent crème custard. https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-colors/color/2153-60/rich-cream Time for another trip to the hardware store for a paint sample and paint up a color board.

We had a friend with "taste" come and have a look, and apparently What we want is "Desert Tan" Capturing the sunbaked warmth of a desert landscape, this yellowish tan is low-key yet luxurious. https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-colors/color/2153-50/desert-tan Well OK then. The Office Renders look Ok. Like I have a choice.
