hard-waring green {renov # 24}

{previously}

·
the hallway usually is the artery to a house. it is by most means, the spot where one enters one's humble adobe. 
·
for the past two years already, we've been living this, our very own green, green grass of home. actually. that would be lying. it was only last year, i did steam off the last remnants of the multi layered wall paper, 

·
so this unpleasing green was revealed to us just some twelve months ago. this {cadmium, forest, hunter, army, pakistan, moss, bottle, pool} green has been biting our ankles like it is nobody's business. 
·
not just that. it comes all glossed over shiny. once upon a time a slap on dado, it now sits saddeningly stickety-stick on the lower part of our much worn hallway walls.

·
this is something i have contemplated while plastering and sanding. 
·
as i've recently been spending the better part of two days in the downstairs hallway, i've had good intention after clever plan after sad rejection on how to efficiently do away with that ghastly green. 

·
as i've also been planning the garden these spring days, the meaning of the colour green has been seeping in through all pores, no doubt about that. 
·
green can be drunk in, especially after a gruesome grey winter. green is a fresh colour to cheer anyone up, on those budding trees and shrubs, and in the promise of flower leafs 
·
{and freshly sewn, invisible grass, for that matter - and thank you once again, renilde, for fruits of your labour from your luscious garden!}

·
just no poker green on a hallway wall please, and not of the fiery kind. 
·
be sure the dado green will pop back: it only sits on all three floors of the hallway.
