    Funny! I like Betty White and Ennui the best.

    I think it is hilarious!

  • 14 years ago

    Oh, too funny!

    Somebody please send this to Donald Kaufman...the master of architectural whites.

    I'm partial to Difficult White and Expensive, myself...

    lol! There's not enough decorating and design humor out there. Have you ever tried googling for a decorating joke? Pickins' are slim.

    Thanks for posting bkw!

    Very funny! Kinda makes obsessing about the perfect white (or color) seem a bit, oh, I don't know... obsessive maybe??!! Guilty!

    Ok this might be mean - but I am more amused by the folks who don't/didn't "get it" than I am by the actual humor. (giggle)

    The architect who just combined and renovated two units in our complex got really racy and used off white on the walls as a contrast to all the ornamental plaster and millwork in white.

    He thought our choice of light grey blue walls was "uhm, ahem, a rather er, surprising choice" --no comment on the black hallway.

    The writer who does that "Coffee With an Architect" series is hilarious.

    Best comment: "I use a HP EliteBook 8760w Mobile Workstation with a 17.3-inch diagonal RGBLED-backlit FDH UWVA anti-glare DreamColor* display (1920x1080 resulution) with a 10-bit panel that can display over one billion colors (64 times the colors supported by traditional LCDs) however I can't see any difference!

    Maybe I should go to see my Optometrist ???

    Runner up: I need to sleep. How about a little "White Noise"?

    Giggle. Very funny and so sad that I don't know anyone else who would laugh if I sent it to her/him. Still giggling.

  • 14 years ago

    I am sending the entire blog to my architect. She's already kinda afraid of me.

  • 14 years ago

    Hilarious! However, don't the 'colors' with attractive names look prettier! LOL

  • 14 years ago

    Funcolors, I too was giggling over those who didn't get it. I was looking for 'Tighty Whitie', but it didn't make the list!

    pal--you say no comment on the black hallway which reminded me....I'm having the inside of the front door painted black by the painter. This painter is older, in fact this is his last new home before retirement. He told me that no one has ever asked for an interior door to be painted black. I gave him a little smile, told him about my high gloss black ceiling in last house, and then told him I was contemplating doing all the interior doors here black. Perhaps that is why he chose to retire after my house. He knew nut-jobs were on the horizon and he better get out soon!
