In the post about being weird, mouse explained that even a picture can inspire mouse to clean. It sounds whacky -- and totally mouse. Recently this image caught mouse's eye on Facebook.
Well, inside the sun room, we have some built in shelves...wouldn't it be so much brighter painted white? Daddy was nonplussed at the idea when we moved in, "Mouse do you realize those shelves are mahogany?" he replied somewhat annoyed.
The very idea of painting over that wood was unthinkable to him. But also, let's just say the idea of painting over any of the wood trim was an impossible idea. Which is why we ended up with a very dark dining room (think hunting lodge). While it's contents are clearly a mixture of us both, the room overall just isn't. So little by little, mouse has been making very subtle changes. More sconces, more opportunities for brightness.
Back to the sunroom and the mahogany shelving. Daddy's pretty insistent not to allow mouse to paint it. Possibly due to a recurring nightmare of mouse one day changing her mind and saying that she wants to restore the wood to its origional state.
So for now, this image is being filed away under: Dreams. At least until mouse sees another image to replace it.
