I Highly Recommend Doing This
Take some chalk and write on your walls~ It comes right off and it has the possability of giving you a NEW PERSPECTIVE on your home! On Sunday, I was at home alone, preparing dinner for a small dinner gathering, when I looked at the walls and thought, I wonder what it would be like to chalk on my walls? I tested it to makes sure that it would come right off--when you live with someone you kind of have to consider it their home too, and if Graham didn't like it, it needed to come off. Once I realized that it took VERY LITTLE to wipe the wall clean (a damp rag will more than suffice), I went NUTS! It made me feel SPARKLY in that way when you feel when you realize there are REALLY NO LIMITS.
By the time Graham and guests arrived home, there were secret messages lying in wait in EVERY ROOM. 
Price of chalk: $1.00. Discovering your home is a living canvas: priceless.

i always love the words you write. i can have a bad day in my corporate american bubble, and read your stories and they typically make me smile. thanks.
What a grand idea! I love it. When I was young I used to draw pictures on my white refrigerato with crayons. It took some scrubbing to get it off, but I could redecorate as often as I wanted. Chalk is easier.
As for me, I love the concept, but I might have picked words that are less congruous with the immediate surroundings, such as perhaps: wombat, ubiquity, gangplank, infinity; chimera, changeling, colloquy, or perfidy.
Or maybe even impeachment, firecracker, or diphthong! Maybe it's that I want to have an especially avant garde streak, like, say, Yoko Ono. (But I think she have
written, "Breathe," "sky," or "air"!...)

Brilliant! How wonderful that you live surrounded by all of that color...
