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:

    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.

    Yellow is an apt color for a French boudoir.

    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.

    Actually it is garish and in bad taste.

    As chickie sez perfect for a French Boudoir motif.

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

    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?

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

    Luckily she sticks to Facebook and Instagram.

    Blogs are for old white guys.

    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.
