(the son of) let the repairs begin...with a very special addition

is this cute?

a question asked of myself and many others during the long and somewhat awful decision making process about tile, carpet and i think most drawn out of all...paint color!

i was thrilled to be able to get rid of original WAY fugly blue tile that was in the kitchen, but...is this cute?

wait, what about this...everyone is saying these new glass tiles are the latest "in" thing!
berber for the upstairs, is that cute?
glass tiles in pretty colors, is this too busy...or is it cute?
OMFG!

if you have a chance to paint your house ANY color in the whole world, what would you choose?

sounds sort of easy, right?

WRONG...i took pictures of houses i liked for months...went on walks specifically checking out house colors...went to paint stores grabbing loads of those color cards...standing in front of each huge selection would usually only created anxiety, impatience and sometimes nausea!

and those unwieldy color things with a million choices grouped by color (but not really)...aaarrrggghhhh!!
narrowing it down...
here's my very special addition...with carpenters, saws and wood all around...i got an idea!

for a little architectural accent could i put up a zappa mustache?

you know, the famous imperial?

if i draw it, could jimmy cut it out and place it on my house?

he was willing and happy to do it...he also said to me one morning, "you're supposed to be this big zappa fan but we never hear any music"...i was a little embarrassed really and fixed that problem...lots of zappa coming through the windows to work by from then on!

TA DA!
i felt very accomplished with my zappa 'stache in place way up high...a small part of the bigger project object...

so, are any of these colors cute?
