Blue and Green go well together

    I painted the bathroom today!!  Hardly seems like a comment worthy of two exclamation points when you see it in typeface, though it is for only one reason. We've lived in our house for a year and a half and every wall and ceiling is white, except now for the smallest room in the house.  Before we moved into our house it was the only room for which I had picked a color. It was to be a soft sage green. I was as certain of the color as I was of my own name. Green is my favorite color.
    When I went to buy the paint this morning, I took some items from the room to coordinate the shade. The irony is, I didn't buy the green I had set in my mind for so long.  I bought "Cool Sky" blue.  Blue is my husband's favorite color.
    As I was painting, I grinned to myself at how quickly I'd changed my mind compared to how long I planned on green.  I reasoned that blue and green go well together in the right shades. I started to think about how my husband Jim would not be as surprised as I was by my switch. Sometimes I think he knows me better than I know myself. If he were here right now though, he would have taken the opportunity to tease me unmercifully. I'm certain that will come later. It also occurred to me that the situation so aptly fits us.....well, our relationship anyway.  He is my green and I am his blue. We've adjusted our shades over the years, but we go together pretty well now.
