Painting the town green.

One of the first things I did when I landed into DC was to find the local paint store and walk there. It turns out there's a delightful little community hardware store/paint shop less than a mile from my house called Frager's, which, besides being locally owned, narrow-aisled and awesome, also turned out to be full of knowledgeable paint salespeople ready to assist me with all of my color-choosing needs.

Sadly for them, I was entirely devoid of color-choosing needs. There may have been a vast array of tiny paint chips to peruse, but I knew exactly what I wanted. And lucky for me, Frager's carried just the color I had in mind, the one I've been wanting to paint my bedroom with for years now.

It looks like this:

Oops?




Of course, the room is so small, it's practically begging for cheerfully-hued walls. And lest you think lime green paint is tacky and prevents the room from achieving any semblance of aesthetic panache, I submit to you the following:
