Sunset at Foscue Creek, Nov 25, 2008
I'm going with yellow in the kitchen
The interior of this RV is a busy space in mostly a medium brown and I find it a tad depressing. It's taken me forever to decide what to do about it and I'm still not completely sure where I'll end up but a lot of the brown has to go.
For now I'm starting with the kitchen walls in a pale yellow which I will accent with a strong primary yellow.

What I've Learned
Such delicate goods as justice, love, honor and courtesy, and indeed all the things we care for, are valid everywhere but they are variously molded and often differently handled and sometimes nearly unrecognizable if you meet them in a foreign land, and the art of learning fundamental common values is perhaps the greatest gain of travel to those who wish to live at ease with their fellows.
