Greg hated it, I loved it. We had a quart sample so I decided to paint the old window that hangs on the back of the garage with it.
When I first moved in there was a shed on the back of the house that I had to tear down.
My friends Ryan and Zimmy very carefully salvaged the window, which I hung where the shed once stood.
And then I decided to paint the back of the house so it didn't look *quite* so terrible.
And then we removed the cement slab, put in a rain garden, and painted. And now I think it looks a lot cuter and not so much like a junk yard back here.
Of course, all of the shrubs I have planted back here are chartreuse, so I'll probably end up repainting the window orange for contrast. You can't see most of them because they are so small.
I may end up removing the sarcococca and shifting the salal to the left so everything has enough room, even though the sarcococca is a nice dark green. Now I just need everything to hurry up and GROW. The best part of all this is that Greg admitted that the Offbeat Green looks pretty rad with our house color. I may or may not have run a victory lap through the yard chanting, "I was right! I was right!" after that. He puts up with a lot, that poor man.
