Motivation: Better, Speed: Not so Great

Well, I got about 80 more wall files made, but I still have another 220 to go... I put on B5 in the background to have something less boring than choosing colours and colour filling and saving files but unfortunately it really took more of my attention than I anticipated. Shoulda picked something less attention-capturing.

Well, I could still get more done today but I feel like stretching out; knees are bugging me again. Maybe I'll still have time to run through one more set.

I took another look at my eye file, too. I'm still not sure I like it as is but I can't seem to make something I like better (and I spent about an hour fiddling with it), so I'm going to go ahead and load what I have, and if I do decide to rebuild it I can always replace them later.

When I'm done with the walls, I will have 55 colours each in plain paint, paint with 4 types of kick, paint with 4 types of kick and crown, paint with 4 types of chair rails, and paint with 3 types of double-coffer wainscotting, and I think 50 colours of full tile walls (there were a few I didn't bother with), half-tile walls with white paint, and half-tile walls with complementary paint, plus however many aluminum siding choices I make, and some multi-colour tile walls as well.

Floorwise, I've got carpet, 3x3 tile, 4x4 nicer-looking tile, checkered linoleum, and (still undone) the linoleum with the large inset square and small corner squares, again possibly not in all 55 colours but probably in 48-50 each.

Loading those into Homecrafter is going to be fun... especially since the new version of Clean Installer is giving me problems with showing the names of files when I hover over them, which means I'll probably have to rename as I go instead of in batches. But, worth it to have that much matching non-wallpaper to use.

As you can imagine, I don't plan on making 55 recolours of any given furniture item... I'm thinking of pulling my favorite dozen off the colour chart and using those for the furniture I use most often. Except for bedsheets, where I may very well end up having several dozen recolours. ^_^
