It is starting to get there

This is what the final result of the dresser we bought from the dirty hippies. Well actually not the final final. You see Lisa wasn't happy with it. You will notice the missing tooth in the middle cabinet right? Also the yellow was too green. Yes that's a thing.

Sean the guy who did the painting is slumped over it. Lisa made him cry. He is taking it back. I mean he is charging a lot and this is the centerpiece of the new store so it has to be perfect. We will see what we will see.

Remember this is what it originally looked like:

Going off his diet…Little Troopers sometimes forget.

My eyes are bleeding. He is probably crying because of what you made him do to a beautiful piece of furniture.

Of course....that is just my taste. Yellow is probably on of my least favorite colors, right next to orange and lime green. YES. I am still scarred by the 1970's color schemes. For me.... Subdued colors with accents of brights and even a yellow or orange scattered here or there in small doses.

You didn't ask. But that won't stop me :-)

I prefer my furniture without bright colors. But then I don't buy women's clothes either.

Give me a subdued color, like grey.

rcocean said...

That thing on top, i like that better. No paint. Just natural wood finish.

Yellow is an apt color for a French boudoir.

chickelit said...

It does look like a giant school bus.

"Tough crowd, I tell ya', tough crowd." It does look like Big Bird's dresser.

DBQ hates yellow yet her avatar is yellow. Let's analyze.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that Mrs. TY had in mind a color along the lines of Grey Poupon, and so she told the guy to paint it a mustard color.

Turns out the painter's a French's Yellow guy all the way.

ndspinelli said...

ChipS, LOL!!

Trooper York said...

Actually it is garish and in bad taste.

As chickie sez perfect for a French Boudoir motif.

Trooper York said...

I told her I wanted to decorate like a French whorehouse in Indochina in 1952 but she wouldn't go for it.

Chip S. said...

Planning to hire a Vietnamese sales girl?

Here ya go, ND. It's good to be Queen!!

MamaM said...

As for the "too green" aspect, I'm wondering how too yellow gets the slip?

Was it supposed to end up looking like a yellow version of this in Sexy Pink? The style's all there, complete with the overhanging wood top. What's the overall vision?

Chip S. said...

What's the overall vision?

Color blindness.

Retro Mustardo.

If Lisa ever saw this thread Trooper would get his ass kicked.

Trooper York said...

Whenever Lisa looks at the blog I get my ass kicked.

Luckily she sticks to Facebook and Instagram.

Blogs are for old white guys.

Trooper York said...

It will come together. It always does.

It is going to be a french boudoir scene like in that movie with Nicole Kidman. You know like the Patti Labelle song.

"Dead Calm"?

MamaM said...

With "Queen" already taken, the Duchess of Mustard is up for grabs!

Facebook = No country for old white men.

We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine.

Now that's great song writing.

rcocean said...

Now wonder everyone loves the Beatles.

Somewhat OT.
