A little light-hearted take on Crispina’s excellent challenge. I played a bit by putting my picture first coz, well, I can and I felt it needed to be 😉 Plus, Crispina is so very generous and open-minded about these things…
Stay safe out there!
Redecorating
Querido, I was thinking of redecorating. This place needs a good paint job to go with this upgrade of yours, don’t you think? I mean, it’s great that you have built this wonderful porch with a roof so we can sit outside protected from both sun and rain. The colours are just so drab and the rust is coming through. It’s ugly.
What are you planning, Corazón? Any particular colour scheme in mind?
The other day I was taking a walk on the beach, I saw this little shed-like thing. That’s what I want!
Uhhh…. Seriously? A little garish, no?
A Dalectable Life 
I looked at your photo and burst out laughing. And now I sit here, cheeks aching. I do thank you, Dale.
And I’ll try to keep it upbeat next week!

Q,
I mean, I love her ideas but I also love his ambitious venture into whatever the hell that is plastered to the wall. Do the kids still call it “tagging”? Or am I dating myself all the way back to the Reagan administration.
Or do I have it backwards? Is he the one thinking up different ideas and she the one introducing this “garish” possibility? Either way . . they’re gonna have to find a middle ground.

B,
I am laughing ovah heah… That there is a full-fledged piece of graffiti. Tagging is just a signature, by the way (I can thank Resa for her graffiti shares and keeping me up to snuff.)
She thinks her mate’s upgrades to their abode is fine but that they need some colour. I’m thinking she is a tad overambitious, personally…
I believe you are correct. They will have to be in cahoots when it comes to the final decision on just how far to go 😉

I forgot, it’s been a while since I spoke graffiti.
Yeah she might have gone a bit overboard with this idea of hers. But maybe it was on purpose, in order so that her other ideas will seem much more reasonable. Maybe she is owning the moment without him even being aware such a thing is happening.
There’s that word again. Cahoots!

And yet… it is out there and is now officially art.
She might’ve indeed. She probably knows exactly where to direct him and make him think the idea was his in the first place…

Yes! Kids destroying property are vandals. Art is made by artists. I found the most amazing piece of art on a building. It was a B&W painting of a smouldering unusual beauty. The vandals (taggers) destroyed it. I was heart broken. They kid who did it even had the gaul to write “I peed on this” YUCK!
