one:
we have five tickets to see five for fighting at the wiltern in LA this saturday, april 21st at 8pm. jeff and i bought tickets for us and the three oldest because they LOVE FFF. jeff has thrown his back and we arent going to be able to go now. if anyone is at all interested please email me. i dont want them to go to waste. you dont have to buy all five and ill sell them cheap! you’d probably have to be pretty local to me to have them by saturday night. (tarawhitneyblog@Yahoo.com)
two:
we are having our bedrooms repainted and i cant choose between these two greens for the girls room. i had them color matched to my two favorite green cardstock colors. dont even know what color or brand they are. i love both of them for different reasons. tell me what you like best!
three:
we want to have this long grass planted on the slope in our backyard with a sprinkling of wildflowers here and there. we have asked at various garden centers trying to explain and no one knows what we are talking about. jeff took a photo of what we want. does anyone know what this grass/groundcover is called? its really popular here but no one knows what it is called!
thanks in advance for the help. i love you internet. :)
ed. tickets are taken! thank you so much! going with the lighter green. its soooo hard to choose but i think its what i want, and painter joe likes it best too. still not sure about the grass. i think maybe ill take that picture and post in a gardening forum or something? none of the pictures look quite like what we have here.
1. Sorry about Jeff’s back, a little TLC and the FFF on tv?? hang in!!! 2. I love them both however, I would go with the darker as it really sets off the white bed and seems a bit “richer” IMO 3. no idea, but I love it! will the flowers grow in it or get chocked out? You could always do wild flowers along the edges if they won’t grow in the middle..
BTW ~ LOVE the senior shoot…
We have some grass like that here in Texas and it is prairie grass!
I think I’m voting for the shade of green on the left side. (I just made a card using that same color last night so I may be biased.) Can’t help you on the tix or grass, but hope Jeff’s back feels better soon!
Hi Tara…
Is that Ryegrass?
Do a search and see if there is a picture to see if that’s the name. HOpe you get your answer.
I like BOTH greens…can you use them both in some way? They coordinate well!
Good luck!!
Bye!
that sucks about the tickets and jeff’s back. sorry jeff, hope it heals quickly. (micah threw out his back oftn when we were first together…absolutely no fun.
love those greens. the left one is the exact same color as my kitchen, you knew that though right.
can’t help with the grass, but man, i have always loved that particular type, it looks pettable.
I like the darker green …. mostly because it seems like the type of green they can grow into as they get older … does that make sense?
If the girl’s room is on the small side I say go for the lighter green….actually, I just like the lighter green best! :)
So sorry to hear about Jeff’s back!!! I hope he gets well soon!!
If I am not mistaken I think it is buffalo grass!
(Queue Iron Chef intro) “If my memory serves me correctly”… having grown up near you, I believe I always heard people call it “buffalo grass”. Hope that helps! Sorry about Jeff’s back! (That shopping center looks familiar…can you see if from the I-5 southbound??? I seem to remember passing through that area and looking to the right and seeing that little shopping center, or one that looks like it! LOL!
We did exactly what you want on the hill in our back yard. The grasses that we had planted were hare grass and wheat grass(?) We have wild flowers that pop up in the summer time and up here in Alaska that won’t be until June!
I really love the deeper green against the white. Can’t help ya with the grass… though it looks like a nice green waterfall.
I vote for the lighter green, it seems umm friendlier and more child-like. As for the grass, can’t help you. I live in northern Canada and we only see grass 6 months out of the year.
Looks like what I call Monkey Grass.
My vote is for the lighter green.
Happy painting!:-)
Definitely the darker green! Love the grass idea.
Three thing: Wishing I lived in Cali, I would totally go to FFF.
Second: I love the darker green. I would totally go with that.
Third: We are doing our backyard in our new house and I too want to plant that same grass, no clue what kind it is though, can’t wait to see the answer.
The lighter shade of green. Better to reflect the light for those indoor photos! Also more like springtime.
like you i have seen that grass before but do not know it’s name. i love the green on the left side the best! love your photos!
for a girls room, I like the lighter – it is more fresh and young feeling, I would like the darker for myself…
I like both greens, but the darker one edges the other out just slightly. Maybe do three walls in one of them and one focal wall in the other? That’s my new favorite painting technique ;)
That grass is very pretty! Good luck finding it.
I would go with the lighter green. But you could do something cool like 3 walls lighter and one wall darker behind the bed. Or, if it is a smaller room, do two walls next to each other light and the other two darker. I did that with pink and white, it made my room look huge when it was really quite small. Just depends on how the room is set up.
and I love the grass idea – no mowing!!
Hi there!First of all I love your blog!
Okay about the tickets!Lol…I would love to have a few.How much are you willing to let them go at?We live near Pismo beach,sooooooo I probably would have to do an overnight!I hope you get this message tonight.Thanks Bbye!!!
I like the green on the left.
I live in Boston so haven’t seen grass in months. :)
i love the darker green tara…i just do.
Sorry about the back, Jeff. Get better soon! Good luck selling the tickets.
Love the lighter green.
Love that grass – it’ll look smashing!
The darker green will be cozier and the lighter one more bright and fresh feeling. Depends what you are going for.
Why not do the light green on the top, and the darker green on the bottome, and then seperate them with a border or a chair rail?? Because I like them both.:)
The green on the left just looks “happier” to me. Good luck with the grass, tickets, and poor hubby’s back, I’m no help on those.
Feel better, Jeff! Cool grass, but can’t help any there either. Love both greens, but partial to the darker… Good luck in deciding, LOL! Good luck on the tickets too! :)
Well I tried using wikipedia and google images to find good pictures of all the guesses of the grass… rye grass comes closest, but I don’t have any good pictures of it really.

check there…
Apparently this family Poaceae comes close… if you scroll down and look at Marram Grass, that comes even closer.

Thanks for giving me something to do for 15 minutes :)
I like the darker green.
Sorry. No help with the grass. Looks great though!
1. Not close enough for the tickets.
2. Take the green on the left.
3. Have NO idea about the grass.
:)
paint on the right
I like the lighter green for a childs bedroom – fresh & bright.
So sorry to hear you won’t be able to go to the concert! Hope your husband feels better soon.
I think I like the lighter shade of green on the left side. They are both beautiful shades, so you really can’t go wrong either way.
I have no idea what that grass is, but I love that entire picture. I grew up in Orange County, but I now live in Massachusetts. I miss that kind of grass, stucco buildings and tile roofs. That whole picture just looks warm, sunny and extremely California. :)
Get Well Soon Jeff!!!
I like the darker green. Not sure what the grass is called.. it looks great tho.
I like the darker green better!
would love the tickets, but i am in korea…so i don’t think i could make it back in time.
love the lighter color…may not overwhelm the room so much. you could also make 1 wall the dark and the other walls the light color or go halfway up with the dark and put the light on top.
no idea on the grass!
1- sorry about the back. Hope he is all better soon – and hope he is a better patient than my DH!!
2- the left color seems like it might be more versatile overall. Love them both though!
3- yank some frome somewhere and bring it to a garden center. It is not stealing if you just take a little! :)

I like the green on the right side of the screen, especially against the white. Just my opinion….
What about stripes for the girls’ room?
pompass(sp??) grass
and I like the light gree paint…. a little more girly!

What about stripes in the girls’ room?
Hi Tara,
When I lived in OC, I wanted that grass too, never got it, I thought it was pampas grass?
The dark green might be too dark, I would use the light and accent just a little with the dark.
As for the concert…Just go and leave hubby on the couch with dvds and popcorn and beer, use the empty seat to put all your jackets and purse and souviners!!!
I like the darker green.
I love both of the greens and also think you should use both. Here’s what my friend did in some of her rooms, and it looks faboulous: she painted the walls one color and then along all four edges on each wall in the room, she painted a wide strip, like 8″ wide, with a contrasting color. Does that make sense? I’m not sure I’m explaining it very well. It looks so great!
I believe it is Buffalo Grass.
I like the darker green myself. Makes the headboard POP more. :-) I’m in Missouri so I’m no help in the grass department. TGIF!!!
Love the lighter green.
FI is a horticulturist. I’ll ask him about the grass when I see him tonight.
