I don't want to make people dizzy. What I'm striving for... well say you walked into a giant translusent (sp) Easter egg.

Elfmaster XK · 03-22-2002, 06:16 PM

What kind of easter eggs do you have?

Last time i chacked they were chocolate...mmm...
Blue n greens always nice together, but that might be a mouldy egg.Ewww!!

Pailan · 03-22-2002, 06:21 PM

Typically, at my home, we dye hard boiled eggs all sorts of interesting bright colors, much like the way entmoot has reconfigured it's self. Lot's of egg sandwiches to take to the shop in the following week.

I am thinking this would help in the overall appeal of my shop. But we shall see.

Wayfarer · 03-22-2002, 06:29 PM

I dislike eggs.

Kyote Fields · 03-22-2002, 06:46 PM

Personally, I belive that you not only should change the colors of your shop but you should also rename your product to be more attention grabbing. It's not just wind up toys - It's Amazingly Addictive Wind-up toys!! It's not just stamps - It's Super Spamm-tacular Stamps!!

And you should be Emperor of the Toys...

Elfmaster XK · 03-22-2002, 06:52 PM

I don't really think egg sandwiches would help the overall appeal of the shop. The smell mite be too much.

Oh yes KF, this I like. Emperor of the Toys, has a nice ring to it, but it's a bit over the top. Maybe Elven Toy Lord...

It's nice to know pink and purple entmoot is still addictive

Pailan where do you own a toy shop? I love toy shops!

**crickhollow** · 03-23-2002, 12:31 AM

I prefer a more hobbitish yellow and green as opposed to pink and purple, but as long as it's not quite as bright as the pink I'm seeing right now...

***Khamûl*** · 03-23-2002, 12:40 AM

I like the green and yellow idea for the toy shop too.

I leave you guys alone for one day without coming to Entmoot and look what happens!

(yes, I know you are working hard to fix it)

MY EYES! IT BURNS!!!

Really Tater, if this is the work of a computer, I'd say get out of there and torch the place! You're dealing with an evil entity here. that is unless you like being called 'total unedible fruit'. This goes beyond the whims of a computer.

What is the color of the walls exactly? Dark green like a forest? Mint green, kelly green? How dark or light are they, meaning what is their value?

How big is the store, what is the square feet? Too many colors in a small space might be overwhelming and would compete with what you have to sell. How tall are the ceilings? Is there any natural light coming in? What are the current colors besides green?

I would paint the ceiling black or silver.

Yes, black with a lot of silver and golden stars! Wouldn't that be nice? I once spend 3 houres sticking illuminous stars on my ceiling in the right order of the constellations. It was really cool, just as if I was sleeping under an open sky. Then came the moths....now I'm in a different room, sigh....

Well now, where to begin?
Walls are actually blue, Olympian Sky. (I said green just to make a point.) I have about 1200 square feet of retail space. The ceiling is 12 feet high and glossy white. It used to be black but made the place feel like a box. The front of the store has big South facing windows. The outside of the store is painted "Starry Night Blue" and has hand painted stars in silver and gold. Most of the shelving units are brown and biege colored and that's really what needs the face lift. Darth Tater helped inspire me to do something about it. I logged on to Eastermoot yesterday and well it moved me to at least think about it.

Kyote Fields · 03-25-2002, 11:53 AM

I had another idea for you Pailan. You could paint your store those weird outrageous colors, make peoples eyes burn, then when they come and ask you why the colors are the way they are, you can blame it on a computer glitch......or something

I see Ben is back.
