if you go to this page on Benjamin Moore’s website, you will see the color I am painting my walls. It is called Concord Ivory and is a very soft yellow. It is in the section called split complement.
I am in the grip of kitchen painting. It feels like the whole house is upside down now that the kitchen is in upheaval. There has been a great deal of spackling and sanding (the dust! it’s making me grumpy). More of the same on tap for today, but the good news is that I should also be getting to start the primer coat on the ceiling. The bad news is that the ceiling – which is elevated and hard to reach – is going to need a primer coat as well as two coats of paint! However, Angie is coming over to help. In fact, Angie is a master painter and I end up being the help person as she takes over the job.
tip for the day: It is often a very good thing to let one’s mother-in-law take over.
a small bit of knitting news: I frigged up on the bottom border row of my poncho – specifically working the two increase rows while maintaining a K2P2 pattern. Shall I rip the whole row, or do I just get out a crochet hook and change things around as I go?

That looks like a beautiful shade of yellow for your kitchen. And you are wise to do all the boring prep work prior to painting. That is the hardest part. It will look great when you, I mean, your MIL is all done!
I definitely like the yellowish shade. I think I need to paint. I just wish I had someone like your MIL to help!
As far as that last poncho row goes, I’d do whatever is the most expedient. If you can switch everything with your crochet more quickly than you can frog and re-knit, go that route. It would take me forever to do it that way, so I’d wind up getting frustrated and ripping it out anyhow.
Oddly, this color looks somewhat similar to the color to be laid on the walls of my kitchen. This is an interim step prior to the real remodel which will take place after the laundry room off the back staircase. We have stared at the last owner’s hideous wallpaper for 8 years now, and it was long past time.
However, there is a LOT of wall repair that needed to be done, after the hole for the patio door was made a little too large, and all that lan and cable wiring had to be run up through firebreaks from the basement, and surface of the wallboard tore away when we unwallpapered. At this point, I don’t think I will ever wallpaper anything again. Paint is the way to go.
I’ll let you know what color ours is, perhaps it’s a little lighter than yours.
Beautiful color! I never used to be a big fan of yellow, but now I have two yellow rooms. Sure does brighten up the day (and mood).
