Well, Becky, it is "different."
I resisted the idea - rather adamently - for a long time. He's pretty smart, because it wasn't until he decided to use my photo as inspiration that I gave in!
And one thing I noticed as soon as it wasn't white anymore, is that the lilies look so much better against the pink!
His promise was that if I didn't like it, we could just whitewash it. It doesn't have to be permanent. But if we ever do paint over it, I know now it will not be white. A pastel will be much more pleasing to the eye.
Here they are, admiring their work after day 1.....
