Is gray green, or am I losing my mind?
Comments (14)Wow, thank you for so many quick responses! Daisyadair, maybe we can trade colors? :-) Unfortunately the paint chip is the same color as the paint, but I did not expect it to look so green once it was on the entire wall. Mimi, thank you for "enabling" me, I am more and more convinced that I want the BM Gray Owl! Squirrel, you are right, this is BM Color Viewer. However, the BM Silver Satin looks very close to what's on the color viewer, I did not have the camera batteries to take a photo of the real room (and there are plastic covers and dropcloths everywhere). I did not catch the "green" before the paint job even though I was doing BM Color Viewer. It just looks so different in person! Flyleft, good advice and I should have followed it in advance. I did the posterboard thing for the other bedroom and decided on Vale Mist, and it is PERFECT. However, color chips and BM Color Viewer don't do the trick (as I am finding out). I will let you all know what I decide tomorrow morning at 7 when I talk to the painter - you all are great, thank you so so SO much for the quick feedback! ~Lynne...See MoreLosing my mind: Granite install is wrong
Comments (90)I am not understanding what OP wants to happen in terms of expectations. Remodeling is frustrating but there seems to be no damage done since the stone wasn't cut and therefore the issue isn't whether OP is going to be forced to accept the stone. It's obvious the stoneyard/installer should refund the deposit and I am assuming will be happy to do so. It seems to be a perfect example of mutual misunderstanding resulting in no contract formation - the classic case regarding the mistake in which ship named Peerless would be used to ship the cargo. Since there was no meeting of the minds, there was no contract :-). It's certainly fun when something that I learned in the first weeks of law school still has relevance in the modern world - I am waiting for a post on caveat emptor and medieval sexual enhancements :-). Ruffles vs Wichelhaus A good example that illustrates what is a mistake in contract law is the case of Ruffles vs. Wichelhaus. There was a contract to ship merchandise on a vessel named Peerless. However, the parties involved had a different understanding of each other. Each party was referring to a different vessel, and therefore, they did not agree when to ship the merchandise. In this case, both parties thought they were in consent until they realized were both misguided about each other’s different meaning. As such, an agreement was not formed since there was no mutual assent between the parties involved in the formation stage of the agreement. Like a unilateral mistake, the best practice to avoid a mutual mistake is to consult an experienced attorney to determine whether a defence of mutual mistake is a viable option for you....See MoreAbout to lose my mind over lighting upgrades
Comments (11)Ok lets recap 1. you said you really didn't need that much light at night, but your last comment says you do. In a small room like this one light bulb is plenty, everyone is so misled by lumens, wattage etc just remember most single-socket fixtures will house 60-100wtt equivalent 2. you said you wanted to stay true to the style of the home but the fan you selected is much more modern than the home, and ceiling fans would really not have been an option then. I also find a floor or table fan to be just as useful in a room this size. 3. You have a lot going on so it is ok to be overwhelmed, bear in mind it is just two ceiling fixtures you are focused on. I think you should look at getting a floor or table fan and a simple flush mount for the ceilings. Shop on lamps Plus, this will give you a website that is really focused on lighting....See MoreLosing my mind to grey paint colors for a dark home
Comments (14)Here's the SW Simple White in a room without a lot of natural light (and in this photo no additional lighting yet installed). The window in this room is NW facing and the photo was taken around 1:30pm. On the far left edge of the photo is the door trim in SW Pure White for reference....See MoreRelated Professionals
