What's More Exciting Than a White Wall?

Two white walls.  Well, one and three-quarters white walls.

Tackled the basement laundry room this evening.  Sherwin-Williams' "Pearly White" with perlite added.  With a brush because the texture on the bricks has to be vertical to match the existing.  I don't trust myself doing it with a roller.

It looks really weird having that greeny-creamy-tanny-bricky wall white now.  I almost feel like I've obliterated an historical monument.  (I'll get over it.)

Knocked off when I ran out of gritty paint.  Brush was a mess anyway.  Good idea to finish up in the daylight when I can see the places I've missed.  Already noticed one when I was cleaning out the brush.

Anyway, what is more exciting than a white wall?   I mean, really?

A green vegetable garden.  And impatiens planted around the maple tree.

Thanks! How's yours this year?

Unfortunately my yard is winning the battle of weeds this year.

The heavy rains and soggy yard gave them a head start and I haven't been able to catch up. A few beds still need to be weeded but the weeds have already gone to seed.
