I love aqua laundryrooms!

Husband and I overheard a hilariously surreal exchange at the paint store:

shopper: “I want to paint my laundry room aqua.”
paint store employee : “I love aqua laundry rooms!”

Now, as if the woman’s deranged enthusiasm for aqua laundryrooms wasn’t amusing enough, the conversation got unintentionally funnier:

paint store employee: “What color are your appliances?”
shopper: “I don’t know.” – Said so dismissively even I felt chastened – “I’ve never been in there.”

This made Husband wonder how, if she’d never been in the laundry room, she knew the room wasn’t already aqua. He’s very practical that way. I wondered if she’d heard somewhere that bright colors could make her mexicans 80 percent more effective or something.

It struck the designer as odd that you’d live in a house for so many years and never go into some of the rooms, ever, but it was pretty impressive to watch her forge ahead with the customer. I kinda felt bad for her. I also kinda wanted whatever she was on.

I can only hope for her maid’s sake that her laundry room doesn’t have any exposed cinder blocks so perhaps she can avoid the 1970s indoor-pool and locker room aesthetic gone horribly wrong. Perhaps the aqua laundry room will be just cute as pie. What do I know? Maybe all aqua laundry rooms are just cute as pie. All I do know is that Husband and I enjoy exclaiming, “I just love aqua laundryrooms!”

But if this is a hip new trend you can just count me out.
