I would like to redo one of the walls of our house in this lovely brick pattern, but Someone Else prefers it the way it is, a pale turquoise blue. At the very least, I feel it needs to be a deep turquoise blue because it’s not holding its own against the rest of the architecture. If it were a brick pattern or deep turquoise blue, I think it would be well complimented by a striking statue of Ganesha, which will not only give me spiritual cred for this whole baptism thing but might draw attention away from our hideous kitchen cabinets.

I don’t know for how long I can be expected to live under these conditions.

The second photo, the blurry one, is of the table my sister-in-law designed, largely out of products from my store, for the Green Gala we attended the other night. Candle flames offsetting blue ambient light is one of my favorite colors, right behind Ganesha Gold.
