Amazing breakfast buffet, very comfortable stay with everything you'd need right on hand.
friendly and helpful staff, good location, nice view, comfort bed and cleanliness room
The wonderful staff so helpful and friendly and most of all they seemed genuine and nothing was too much of a problem for them I'd like to thank them sincerely and we shall return again soon for a longer stay Thankyou
The choice of TV, channels were pretty poor..(but then; there was ample entertainment ) in the complex.
location, very close to Venetian, City of Dreams, Galaxy and everything, room was perfect with a broadbannd wi fi
Hotel beautiful inside, staff excellent.
The whole area was a building site but worst of all was the new hotel being built next to the swimming pool, so noisy and obtrusive we checked out a day early, very disappointed!!
Location and cleanliness of room. Comfy pillows, quilt cover and bed.

Friendly hotel staff with great service. Room is spacious and comfortable. Bathroom is clean & big too.
Holiday Inn itself did not have much shuttle services & to travel round Macau we have to ride on other hotel shuttle from i.e. City of Dreams, Sands, Galaxy which are some distance away from hotel.
Room is clean
Late checkout to suit my flight schedule
Room face construction site
- Front desk staff, Stefan, checked us in early, gave us a free upgrade of room, and offered a choice of high or low floor room. Very professional and polite! - Room has excellent wifi signal - Spacious and clean room, and hotel offers both soft and firm pillows - Bridge linking to Venetian hotel, and bus-stops nearby
- No bus shuttle to Senado square - One of the pillow case has a sweaty smell
Great location in the Cotai Strip
Cant fault our stay
nice stay in Hoiday Inn, booking a double beds room for Booking.com, good service, the staff are very nice,and kindly help.
Location Facilities
Good option for a mid-size room if you're not travelling in a big group where a suit-size of room would have been better. Conveniently located if you are spending most of the time in the Cotai part of Macau. I'm pretty satisfied with everything during my stay.
The security could be a tad better. Although there are 'security' staff standing outside the hotel lift lobby, he hardly check to confirm the people going into the lift are indeed hotel guests. It'd be better if the floor of the rooms are only accessible via the keycard.
So touching they decarate for my honeymoon room
Don have convenient shop around me
Nice staff , comfort bed and pillow, fitness centre and swimming pool feel so great. Must come back more times.
Better provide shuttle bus to town centre not only ferry terminal
The staff in the hotel are all very friendly and helpful to guests. The tidiness of the room is very good.
There was not a meal plan for my stay. It would be better if the check out time was at 12pm as 11am is a bit early.
Bed is very comfortable
Great staffs and facilities

"Jesus! You scared me! I didn't hear you come in!" said Mr. Stephens.
"Must've been these cheap new rugs."
"Yes," he said, suspicious. How long had she'd been there? "But I thought I'd locked that door, earlier."
She shrugged and walked behind him putting her hand on his shoulder. Quickly, he shuffled an assortment of papers—half of them blank—into an unmarked folder, then locked them in his briefcase. He stood in front of his confidential folder, making sure whatever it was Mrs. Stephens was trying to be clever about, he'd shoot her dead before she got ahold of any of his private work.
"John Jr. is washing up and Frannie is almost done with her homework," she said.
"Yes, the boy's been making a heap of noise down there. He must have finished that schoolwork 23 minutes ago."
Mrs. Stephens looked at her watch. It had been exactly 23 minutes since John Jr. asked if he could go outside.
"But now, who could blame him with the racket that dryer keeps making? THUMP THUMP THUMP! You'd think we were washing gold bricks down there!" he laughed at the idea. HA HA HA! Then wished for it.
"I'll turn it off until you finish dear. How long do you suppose that will be?"
"Well dear, you know I have this report due tomorrow for Mr. Aarons," Mr. Stephens said. "I don't need to be rushed on account of you wanting to start dinner. I don't just fool around up here, you know." Clenching his jaw, he opened the door to the office as a courteous gesture for his wife who should be minding him and leave.
"Of course. You just work so hard. I hope Mr. Aarons knows how lucky he is to have you. Let me make you a pot roast tonight. I'll have that ready for you in thirty minutes," she said leaving with the information she needed.
Reaching the foot of the stairs, Mrs. Stephens decided to check on the children's progress.
"Mom! You did it again! I'm getting dressed!" said John Jr., throwing a towel over his 10-year-old behind.
"Sorry son. But if you closed your door while you're doing something private, you wouldn't need to worry about me sneaking up, would you?"
He slammed his door shut.
Just like his father, she thought.
"Your father wants you to quite down for another thirty minutes while he finishes up his report," she said through the wooden door the boy's grandfather, on his mother's side, had made John Jr. Inside the frame were carvings of his height at different ages. She pressed her finger into the most recent gash in the wood, the one she'd made herself to mark her son's recent growth spurt since her father had passed and his father was working.
She went down to her daughter's room, which was also the laundry room. She turned the knob to the dryer and the THUMP THUMP THUMP-ing stopped.
Frannie jumped off her bed, handed her mom a workbook and said, "Mom! I didn't hear you come in. I'm finished with my homework! Can you check it for me?"
Mrs. Stephens opened the book. Her daughter's oversized bubbly letters were cuter than they were practical for the workbook.
"Honey, I thought you said you were going to start practicing smaller writing. They won't tolerate this next year in the second grade."
"Yes mom." Frannie put her hand out, while Mrs. Stephens reached in her rolled bangs, and pulled out an extra bobby pin. Fannie grabbed it and fasted back her brown bangs to seem like they were rolled, just like her mother.
"You need to rethink numbers two and six. See if there are some other answers you can come up with," said Mrs. Stephens as she stood and left Frannie's laundry room, impressed that her daughter was doing third grade level problems for fun…also like her mother.
She'd already bought the pot roast at the market, so Mrs. Stephens tried to make noises in the kitchen reminiscent of a cooking wife, humming Ba Da Dee, Ba Da Dumm, a song so sweet, the milkman once told her she belonged on stage next to The King. Time passed quickly when she sang, and before she knew it—
Her husband's heavyset footsteps were hitting each stair like two cast-iron skillets on their $1,018.99 handmade rugs.
The children raced to get their cups on the table, take their seats, and wait while Mrs. Stephens set down the pot roast at 5:47pm—exactly 30 minutes after she'd informed her husband of the evening's dinnertime. She took the bobby pin out of Frannie's hair, fluffed out the girl's fringed style, and replaced the hidden pin in her rolled bangs.
Mr. Stephens sat in his chair, grabbed a fork, and took a bite. He was shocked to taste a fully cooked roast. He looked up at his wife.
"Quite some meal you prepared in such a short amount of time," he said, unaware of his jaw clenching as he spoke. "I've never heard of a thirty-minute pot roast."
"Well, we had so much of tonight's meal already prepared from last night's dinner," she said.
The children looked over to the trashcan. The frozen pizza box from the night before was missing. Their chattering teeth ding ding ding-ed on their forks. They shoveled food and drink in their mouths to keep from looking suspicious.
"Oh, that's right. You weren't here last night, darling. I just couldn't get rid of all those leftovers! Trying to save our money for a vacation after you get that raise you might be up for. What do you think?"
Mr. Stephens coughed and set back to eating the rest of his food—waiting until he was finished to wipe chucks of beef off his chin and face. He left the table to sit in his favorite chair, turning on his favorite program and laughing HA HA HA! at the comedy of his favorite actors.
The children also finished, and old enough for responsibilities, John Jr. and Frannie went to work on the dishes.
With the table now empty, Mrs. Stephens checked her watch. Assuming Mr. Stephens wanted to watch both of his favorite programs, she would have an hour to herself.
She brought her dishes to the sink and let the children's clamor disguise her walk behind the favorite chair, without catching a reflection in the T.V. A joke from the program sent her husband cackling HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! giving her a chance to race to the staircase—where she reached the top unnoticed.
Mrs. Stephens took the extra bobby pin from her bangs and unlocked the door to Mr. Stephens' office. His briefcase was bolted in the left bottom drawer. She slid on black satin gloves and checked the picture frames, paperweights, and expensive pens on his desk for the key.
He must have it on him tonight.
She looked at the drawer, taking in its measurements and dings—sure that her husband, in all of his daydreaming in the home office would have each surface scratch memorized as well.
She slipped off her shoe and slid off the rubber stopper below the chunky heel. She took out a small (but thick) charade knife and sawed away as the SHHHHHHHHHhhhHHhhHHHHH of the water running downstairs in the sink created a diversion.
THUMP! The briefcase and the bottom of the drawer hit the ground.
"What's going on up there?" her husband called.
"Silly me! I just dropped my hairbrush."
"Some example you're setting for the kids! Throwing around your junk.." he said.
She waited for the comedians voices to return and her husband's HA HA HA! to fire off like a gun shot from his mouth.
The claps on the briefcase had long since been broken, but Mr. Stephens had yet to discover this. She ignored the unloaded gun, and opened the folder to find a sloppy report. Mrs. Stephens counted seven grammar errors on the first page then checked her watch. Thirty-eight minutes left—that is, if Mr. Stephens watched both programs. The next page of the report was half complete and the third was just a sentence with a poor doodle of a mouse from the Sunday Funnies.
Downstairs, the children joined their father in front of the television, either because they took their mother's absence as a signal or out of sheer boredom.
Mrs. Stephens started typing up a revised report while her children sang the second musical act's #1 Hit Single. She worked quickly as the first program ended and everyone said, "Goodnight!"
Mrs. Stephens stopped typing. There were no actors, commercials or HA HA HAs to be heard. Then, the children whined loudly enough for a mother to hear upstairs.
Mrs. Stephens sorted the original report, placed it back in the folder, and locked it in the briefcase.
Her husband's cast-iron steps were taunting metronomes coming up the stairs. She didn't have enough time to repair the sawed drawer.
She placed the briefcase on the liberated desk-wood. She tore out the sole of her shoe and worked the board back in place using the sole as a lever. The lever had replaced the bottom of the drawer, but was caught in the desk! She tried pulling, twisting, and ripping the sole from her favorite shoe, but it was hopeless. She ran to the door, and stepped into the hallway, wriggling the bobby pin out of the doorknob. Her husband was standing in the hallway as she stood in front of an unlocked door.
With her shoe's sole missing, Mrs. Stephens was lopsided. Mr. Stephens looked her up and down, trying to figure out what was different. Steadying her balance was impossible, so she caught her husband's glances, and let his eyes follow her hand down her leg as she kicked off her broken shoe. Standing in front of Mr. Stephens with one shoe and two black satin gloves, she smiled, but his eyes caught her hand on the doorknob, and his face grew fiery red.
"What is the meaning of this?"
"Da da dumm… da da dumm" she began humming and kicked off the other shoe. "Da da dumm…da da da da da dummmm."
She slowly unbuttoned her cardigan as she walked toward Mr. Stephens. As she let the cashmere slide down her arms, she bit the middle finger of her right glove, pealing it off her hands.
"Mmm hm hummm," she sashaying herself closer to her husband's body. He was glaring at her with confused eyes as she reached him.
"Bop! Dadadadadummmm," sang the love of his life. She continued to pull off layers as he stood, not knowing where to put his hands since she kept sliding back and forth around him. Her itchy stockings made it impossible for him to feel her milky skin's softness, so they had to go. He tore them off like a rabid dog biting into a pot roasted treat.
She'd successfully kept his attention—and more importantly, his gaze—on her the whole time. She jumped in his arms and ordered him to the bedroom. "At once!" she said. As they passed the office, she passionately kissed him, making sure his eyes were closed and missed seeing that the office door wasn't.
"Dumm deedy DAAAA!" she sang as carried her into the bedroom.
Once they reached the bed, he plopped her down, and helped her out of the other non-returned bridesmaid's gifts. She unbuttoned his shirt and folded it before setting it on the chair. He replaced his tailored pants on the hanger from which he'd taken them that morning. And they crawled into bed.
It was exactly 23 minutes later when Mrs. Stephens' husband began snoring.
She used the buzz of the ceiling fan to conceal the sounds of a wife leaving a bed. She went downstairs and turned the Thump…Thump…Thump of the dryer back on—this time to a lower setting.
Sitting at her husband's desk, she went back to work humming her Ba Da Dee song the milkman had once appreciated and typed while the snoring of her children and her husband, the dryer, the ceiling fan, and her humming soothed any sounds that might wake a sleeping dog. I won't be able to get away like this again, she thought. Then she smiled. On the other hand, that's what I thought last time too.

Filmed during Mike Tyson's one-man stage show by renowned director Spike Lee, we're now privy to what it was like to experience the ex-champ's manic, poignant, and at times provocative life story absent of any bells and whistles. Asking esoteric questions like "I know many are probably wondering, what the hell is Mike Tyson going to do up here onstage here tonight — you know, frankly, I'm wondering the same thing," the trailer is but a small glimpse into the existence of one of the more controversial figures in sporting culture in recent memory. Undisputed Truth airs on HBO on November 16.

Blue Note Preps Most-Sampled Compilation
You don't have to be a jazz aficionado to have heard of Blue Note Records. Formed in 1939, the label has been both an important landmark in American jazz and also one of the top go-to places for sampling, particularly true where hip-hop is concerned. Jazz icons like Lou Donaldson, Ronnie Foster, and Donald Byrd have, over the years, found their way into tracks by everyone from DJ Krush to Dr. Dre, and whether the kids know it or not, have wielded much influence on hip-hop's creative geniuses.

Children's Health
The Lighter Side of Parenting
Using Play When Disciplining Older Children
With older kids, like 5- or 6-year-olds, play is a great way to learn how they're feeling about issues at school.
"A lot of these kids will spontaneously come home and play school, and they'll want to be the strict teacher and you the student who's getting in trouble," Cohen says. "They'll exaggerate and make it very dramatic, just taking some of the emotionally difficult things and bringing them to the play zone."
What about using play to teach things like respect and manners? Try using stuffed animals or hand puppets -- but you really have to get into it! Give one puppet great manners and the other terrible manners -- but both should be fun, super silly, and exaggerated. The goal again is to relieve the tension that gets in the way of them spontaneously being polite and thoughtful.
In Cohen's house, once a month the family has an April Fool's dinner, where they put food coloring in everything, drink from vases instead of glasses, and use serving bowls and serving spoons. "We're just as goofy as you can get, and it's really fun. Then it's easier for us to ask the kids to follow our rules the rest of the time."
Does Playful Discipline Spoil Children?
Cohen is quick to stress that disciplining children with playful parenting is not the same as spoiling children. In fact, he says, spoiling doesn't make a connection at all.
"If you're giving in to a child's whining because you just can't stand it another minute, that's not making a connection. But if you give a warm hug, or say, 'Hey, let's play a little game first,' that's not spoiling a child or going against your values. Giving the whole box of cookies because you don't want to hear the whining, that's going against your values."
You may be thinking: But shouldn't disciplining children be -- well -- disciplinary? Isn't responding to bad behavior with play just rewarding it?
Think about discipline like food, says Cohen. "Most children and adults get cranky when they're hungry. Just because they're cranky doesn't mean we're not going to feed them. Connection is also a basic human need -- children will literally die without it. It's not optional, and it doesn't make sense to think of it as a reward for bad behavior. Think instead that the bad behavior is coming from disconnection, so the solution is reconnection."

So, those of you saying this was right...
November 21, 2013 | 09:46 PM
For those supporting the Lee's I must ask if 21 cats at a weight of 1-2 out of 9 isn't that what you would describe as starved? And only 2 ferals had a rabies shot which is the law? If you look at nothing aside from that 21 cats were virtually starving! 9 of the cats were from 2.5 to 3.5 which I would still say was substantially underweight. Maybe I'm naive, but if the Lee's were regularly vetting animals why didn't they have rabies shots? I don't know a vet that doesn't give rabies UNLESS the animal is too sick to receive the shot at the time. Did they really have 34 cats that couldn't have shots? Isn't that what negligence would be? Yes, I will be in court to show my support for those animals.
These animals were seen by two different vets. I would call that substantiated.
The paper DID say that the dogs were normal weight with one being overweight and that six cats were normal weight. Apparently some of the chickens were underweight. So, yes, I call that fair reporting.
I have heard other things within the community that have helped form my opinion, but I won't share those as they could be considered rumors when I personally can't substantiate them. But, they have basically been substantiated for the most part via the paper on the court case.
I also concur with the person that Mr and Mrs Lee had the opportunity to select a jury of their peers from the community and they said they are guilty.
I too share the hope that the family gets mental help and that they aren't able to have animals again. Those are things I'm hoping to hear in court.
I will pray daily for those children. I think they must have been horrifically scarred by this. But, I hold no sympathy for someone that can starve an animal. And two vets saying they were at a weight of 1-2 tells me that's exactly what must have happened.
From what I've seen the Corydon Democrat has been nothing but responsible in their reporting of this story.
And Mr Kirby, considering the fact that I have no animals starved here and they all are fully and regularly vetted I think they are pretty safe. I thank you for your concern though.

So now if you check my sidebar, I have links to specific tags. You can see all of my personal cosplay posts and any ramblings/text posts/musings I've made, basically stuff I can look back at as a journal. Might sort out my fandom whore posts soon even though that's the majority of what's on here.
It would be really fun to sleep to Farore's Silent Realm theme, then set the Guardians Awaken song as my alarm clock. I'd probably piss myself every morning.
Wow. I don't even know what to say. It's good to know that there are still respectful, open minded people out there. Thank you :)
Totally not because I want a sale. Not at all. (They're also amazing btw)
Then having to be super careful not to look at spoilers.
I'm going to ruin this game for myself because I have no self control D:
come on up here! XD
So pissed you don't live closer. Everyone around here is so fucking lame and won't booze with me D:
I thought it was a stupid idea so I started talking crap to my friends about how it was a stupid idea, but then I remembered she was hanging out with us so I hurt her feelings.
My dreams are awesome.
Just. For fucking serious? Why change the pattern of these fuckers? I swear to god between trying to get the damn things to turn around and riding the Loftwing, I might go crazy.
Oh I hate Skulltulas too >< When they rock back and forth they hit me and when you cut them down they're so hard to kill. But the Loftwing gets really really fun after awhile. I didn't like it at first either xD;
Why am I such a loser
bahahaha i'm scared to reblog this *clicks anyway*
Doubt anyone will reply but we'll see.. »
So I said Skyward Sword and pretty ladies. :3
Then I went to the Temple of Ancients and oh my gosh. I never thought I'd say this but Groose is growing on me.
Thanks :) I have a lot of fun cosplaying her
That moment in an argument when you disagree so strongly with somebody but you can't think of a single way to refute them even though you know there are so many ways
so grumpy
and why are balls still equated to bravery
and gay still means bad
Have to study for a Chemistry exam but I really really really just want to play skyward sword

First, an obvious reason:
We can talk about the return of the ground and pound all we like. Tony Sparano is getting the team to a physical style of play, which is great. He is a perfectionist, and is not letting his team get away with any mistakes. Also great.
Tony Sparano will estabish an identity of running the football from day one. Don't get me wrong, this is wonderful news. We can talk about this, as well as how his offense is apparently easier to understand that Schotty's.
But if the offensive line doesn't open up the holes, none of it matters. If Wayne Hunter and company watch linemen shove them out of the way, the offense will be no more effective under Sparano than Schottenheimer.
Now, we will talk about the ripple effects the line has:
IF the offensive line doesn't perform, it has a major effect on the passing game.
Mark Sanchez comes under fire for his decision making, and it is understandable. You can watch a Jets game and for all of the great throws that he makes, you have to scratch your head on many of the other throws.
But, a lot of that falls on the offensive line. Even when you have a great offensive line, the quarterback's decision making time is approximately 3 seconds. Count that in your head. We fans don't do a lot in three seconds, do we? A quarterback has that amount of time to choose what throw to make, and make it accurately. When you have poor offensive line play, that time goes down to 1.5 seconds, maybe even less.
Anyone would make bad decisions when you have 1.5 seconds to make them. Of if a guy over 300 pounds is running after you, same thing.
When the offensive line breaks down, all elements break down.

I know there's some info out there on this, but any recent recommendations? Are there any other holistic dentists in the Metrowest area I should be looking into? I really need to switch dentists, but I'm a little nervous doing it without some solid recommendations.
Just bumping this up!
My family and I have been going to Groton Wellness for over two years now- CANNOT say enough great things about them... and we trek it out there at least 45 min each way depending on traffic. (we used to live in Newton but now moved to Northshore)
Well worth it!!

ColorTherapy: Sweet Pear
Name: Sweet Pear
Brand: Benjamin Moore
Number: 0389
Mr. Anthony Demma of New York has a sweet little apartment in the Village, appointed with an Italian flair. We chose Sweet Pear for the walls, which complements the gold elements in his furnishings without taking over the room.
I tend to like golden-greens and greeny-golds more than I like either green or yellow. Note the hand-painted floor (by the author), based on the pattern of the marble floor in the Pantheon.

I adore this.
I've just moved into a high-water bungalow with my boyfriend and it's the first time that I have lived with color in my house! Our living room is a celery type of color and he was just given a set of fabulous vintage chairs from his grandparents, that look quite similar to the one shown above.
This photo makes me smile because it reminds me of how happy I am.
I agree about the golden-greens/greeny-golds vs. green/yellow. I am going to make a note of this color because we are repainting the dining room.....I am going to fight for another shade of green!
And PS, those floors are way cool.
Mark, another great color suggestion! I don't know if I am going to be able to handle this special column. You are going to have me wanting to paint my walls a different color each week. : )
Can I do this to my parquet floor ( after i have sanded and put primer on it )
I live in a 23 storey bldg and the floors are not level
i love this floor.
also i love all the tiny imperfections. really gives it all personality.
oooh, this is nice. the yellow is so soft and doesn't remind me at all of Big Bird. the chair is right up my alley: partially because it almost looks like it was found in an alley and partially because that shade of ochre is such a great compliment to the wall. and the floor is just plain fun. after awhile, I might get tired of the shapes and take it back to that nice, scuffed bone color, but for now, it's all working quite well.
I'm moving in.
that really is lovely.
this color is so pleasant and could go with any style; I'd like to see the rest of the room and at a different time of day...maybe evening?
Mmmm, pears. Looking at the room makes me hungry. Yummy!
Wow, that looks so different than the color at Color Charts:
You might want to add in the usual paint disclaimer, like the one at BenMo:
Please note that the on-screen color representations are not necessarily precise representations of actual paint colors due to variance in monitor calibrations.
Here's a press release mentioning Sweet Pear and other colors. It might be "if you like this, you'll like that too" kind of thing, so it could be worthwhile to check out the other "Morning Light" colors.
I know that what I'm seeing on my monitor is not what anyone else is seeing on their monitor. And, nothing that we see on our monitor may be exactly the color as it would be in the form of actual paint...or how it would look in our rooms.
That might be a post in an of itself to write about. So everyone who sees this GREAT color doesn't race out to buy it...only to find it looks neon, washed out, too dark, too light, too bright, etc, once they've used it in their room.
Using BenMo's Color Viewer and selecting Sweet Pear...guess what? I get a third color. It's different than what is in the above picture and at Color Charts. Oh, they're the same color number, just that they appear different. Very different.
I see pale apricot at Color Charts.
Limeish yellow in the above picture.
And more a sun-drenched yellow with a tinge of green at BenMo.
Color is fascinating!
what the heck is a high-water bungalow? lol
This doesn't relate to Sweet Pear, though I love it. This is a question for the color therapy site. What do you recommend for complementing old, no longer white bathroom tiles? I chose a cream thinking it would make the tiles look whiter but it just made them look dirty. I'm looking for strategies not specific colors, i.e., try to match as best you can, select a very high contrast color. Any ideas?
Margaret (in D.C.)
For Margaret who asked about what color to paint when the white tiles are no longer white. I have a small bathroom with white tile halfway up and a black tile border around the top. Tiles are 75 years old now and no longer white. I painted a buttery yellow on the the walls and ceiling. Looks great. Kind of glows. I think color is definately the way to go.
Margaret -
I have 1931 bathroom w/white tiled walls and floor w/a bit of black tile trim. I chose Benjamin Moore Antique White...and it works.The contrast makes the paint look just barely pink or opal. Fresh white rugs and shower curtain and ever changing towel colors make the space appealling. I think white is The Color for a bathroom! Don't give up on the whites!
Patty (in CT)
Far from being a shift of topic, the Sweet Pear would probably work with the not-as-white-as-they-once-were tiles. It's light but definitely a color, and it's not a clear, bright color that would make the off-white look dingy.
I think wende's onto something, but I think that whatever direction the off-white is in already is the direction that the wall color should be. Because then, instead of looking "dirty", it would look as if the whole room was bathed in a lighting gel of that color, or as if that color were just being reflected of the walls onto perfectly white tiles.
So, basically, I would look for a color chip that had the exact same (or nearly) shade as your off-white, and then go a couple of shades darker on that exact same chip. I think you kind of can't go wrong with that.
So, the cream that you chose that didn't seem right to you might not have been quite in the same line (or same chip) as the off-white of the tiles. Or, perhaps it needed to be a shade deeper to make a tad more contrast.
What beautiful colors! I love the floor--it's really lovely, and something I wouldn't have thought of.
I just painted my bathroom with Benjamin Moore Blue Spa and it made my whole bathroom look new and the tiles whiter.
Wow, that's lovely. The floor design is really interesting, too.
BM's Sweet Pear was one of the potential wall colors for a room I'm going to paint, but it looks a little too yellow.
I really wanted to find the perfect shade of golden green, but finally gave up, convinced that the color only exists in my head.
Does anyone think a color wash could achieve the indescribable shade I want? I've never played around with paint effects before.
Color wash could do it...
If you're after a very specific look, I'd get some paint samples that come close and some large pieces of sturdy posterboard. Paint one sample on each board, covering the whole board (and make sure you label which is which!). Then live with the big samples for a while, so you see them in different lights -- and move them around, so you see them at both the lighter and the darker end of the room. One of the colors may actually be what you want.
My perception is that some paint brands change color in different lights more than others, btw. Am I nuts? I'd swear the Valspar flat latex we used back East shifted a lot throughout the day (which is why I liked it) but my parents' Glidden eggshell doesn't change at all.
The sweet pear is lovely. Hi there, this is my first post and I am peading for help, please, because I feel like some sort of demented Goldilocks not pleased with any color I try.
I am attempting a botanical garden/botanical print look for my very small studio apartment. I like the light wash of color in the background of Audubon prints. I was thinking light green, but maybe light blue like Clear Skies from Benjamin Moore would be okay? I don't really like yellow although a green with yellow in it would be fine. (sweet pear would be too yellow for me).
So far I have tried, all from Benjamin Moore, fresh cut grass (too bright, too apple green), summer lime (too yellow), celadon (not different enough from summer lime), neon celery (too baby nursery-like). All these failed runs are getting expensive for me. I realize I stupidly haven't gone for the palest spectrum yet. Should I give "frosty lime" a go? Does anyone have any suggestions? Would a pale blue be easier to choose?
Thank you in advance! I was really glad to see this column. I need therapy.
Jamie, it sounds like you and I have similar problems! The colors are either too green, too yellow for me.
Maybe you could do a white wash over one of the greens, to mellow it out?
Also, yes, I'd definitely check out the paler tints of the colors you've been looking at.
I know! After I read your post, marm, I thought maybe the perfect shade only exists in my mind. Then I looked up color washing, and that is the kind of look I want, but maybe achieved with the fluctuation of light. Because it just sounds way too technical for me to achieve. (I was hoping I'd be done with this whole thing in one weekend).
yeah, i would definitely suggest looking at paler tints. i've noticed that when looking at paint chips (especially in-store or while flipping through my ben moore chip deck) my eye tends to be attracted to the really saturated colors, but when i get a sample on the wall it looks too dark or nauseatingly intense. when i painted my kitchen recently i ended up going WAY lighter than i thought i would, and even with the lighter shade i sometimes walk into my kitchen and get a bit overwhelmed by the intensity of the color.
personally i would like Mark to come to my house and help me narrow down the 15 different paint chips that are taped to my bathroom walls, all of which are starting to seem the same to me... how can 15 different shades from 4 different brands all look so exactly the same?
Jamie, from what I gather, colorwashing is actually a pretty simple technique to do, and doesn't require a lot of technical skill.
I definitely want color on my walls, but I want the room to still seem airy and not claustrophobia-inducing.
Annie. A craftsman. Sorry, it's my own little term for it as it has a raised foundation.
Actually, "high-water bungalow" is an official architecture term, at least out here. I've seen it used to refer to Craftsman-style houses in Sacramento that are built on a raised base (sometimes raised as much as a full story) in the areas that flooded before the levee system was built.
Wende - Yes, that is where I live! I know very little about architecture or interiors so I tend to err on the side of caution when throwing around "terms."
Thanks for the clarification :-)
It's a great house, and I love the feeling of looking down to ground level.
Jamie! I'm painting my bathroom in Benjamin Moore's Wales Green. You may want to give that one a try -- it's a softer, slightly more melon-than-citrus green.
I hope this is not a hijack, but I am hoping someone can help me out. (I have learned a lot from lurking.)
I am looking for a color similar to Sweet Pear, but something more tangerine. Something light, variable, recognizably orange-y and not "peach." Any thoughts?
NEVER, EVER pick a paint from the store based on the paint chips as seen IN the store. NEVER. Unless you live in a warehouse, have fluorescent lighting, and have ALL THE OTHER COLORS as points of reference in your home decor. I mean all the other colors on the paint chips.
Yes, this shade is darker than that one and a little brighter than this one over here, you say to yourself in the store. But you don't HAVE those other two colors in your home to compare with. So the only color you have in your home on the walls will be the paint color. And it won't be darker than that one or a little brighter than the other one, because you didn't paint your walls all three colors.
Secondly, NEVER pick a color based on what you see online. AAAAAHHHHHH. The color IS NOT ACCURATE. I gave an example that is readily available for all to see in the first post.
Third, NEVER pick a color based on your friend's home, or just a general color mentioned online. Unless YOUR home is facing the SAME direction and has the same amount of window light at the SAME latitude, your results WILL vary.
Our monitors are NOT calibrated the same, photos uploaded may not reflect the actual color. And even the names are confusing. What I call tangerine (which IS orange) might not be what you want.
So...here are some IDEAS. Browse rooms of color. Here is a starting point.
Remembering there are many colors within each "color category", like the peaches and terracottas are in the Orange slideshow. So browse Decorating with Orange to see several room pictures.
Don't be upset because the wall color isn't mentioned. You don't want that paint color, because it may not be the same color as shown in the picture. What I mean is that the picture may appear different than the actual color.
What you WANT is a color that LOOKS LIKE THAT IN YOUR ROOM. It's not the same as getting the same paint color as used in a photo.
You might have to step up or down in the amount of white or black that is added to your color. You might have to have it a little more or less saturated to give your room the SAME effect as what you see in pictures.
I have more suggestions. Yes, I'm full of them (or full of something) today.
You should be taking into account your furnishings, your flooring, your home accessories when choosing the paint. The paint is the LAST thing you add to accentuate or contrast with what you have. You CAN match paint to anything. You cannot always match textiles to paint.
Sooooo, how exactly do you carry around your sofa or comforter when you're shopping for paint? You pick up paint chips that match your sofa or comforter. If you can drag in one pillow sham from the bed or one sofa cushion to the paint store, you'll only need to do it once.
You pick out paint chips that match your furnishings. This allows you to carry your entire major home items in your pocketbook. Guys, you could probably take a snipping from the full-size paint chip, lay them on transparent tape and cover the back with transparent tape, and fold the connected snippets in your wallet.
Even if you don't live in a warehouse, pulling out your sofa paint chip under fluorescent light and putting it with another paint chip will give you a much better idea of how they will look. If they look like crap together in the store, they will probably look like crap under any lighting.
You know, I've run though this whole spiel a gazillion times, including at the paint stores. The customers say "How come the paint guy didn't say this?" and I think it's common sense.
But it's ONLY common sense if you think about it long enough and consider it. Like I've said to the auto mechanic the and computer guy, there is only one letter between those who know and those who don't know...the letter exchange is "D" and "H"...
Those who don't know:
"Huh, maybe it's supposed to do that"
Those who know:
"Duh, it's NEVER supposed to do that"
I don't remember what brand it is, but one paint store will NOT take returns anymore. You pick it out stupidly in the store in warehouse/fluorescent lighting conditions without testing it first at home, your fault.
Then you have to decide who is really at fault. Is it the retailers job to educate every single person on paint and lighting? There is tons of info online they provide to do just that.
Which then places the burden of responsibility on the consumer. But it's a fun burden. Especially over at BenMo.
Go here, all ye considering a new color:
Tonight's homework is to read "Color and Light" which will take all of two minutes.
Same room, three different lighting conditions, three different perceived colors on the walls. It's all the same color as painted, but looks different. That's why you end up with poke-yer-dadgum-eyeball-out-yellow on your walls when your friend used the same color and has soft, subdued beige/yellow.

Anyone here on Windows? Who also has a digital camera? And is wanting to repaint?
i'll try to insert a ColorGroupTherapy here but may have to return this evening. for starters, i always say color is relative--influenced and changed from place to place by light, space, architecture, a blue rug as opposed to an orange one etc. Anthony Demma has a raspberry colored kitchen right next to this dining room so perhaps that throws a different cast over this room, esp under my primative photography.
the tiles, i could never say without actually seeing them. i'm thinking of complementary colors for some reason: for example, if the tiles are an orangey base, a blue paint would make the pair very active, as they are opposite colors on a chart. i use this trick to harmonize, bury things or make them stand out all the time. i actually have a potential posting on exactly this, old looking tiles, but the photograph is so bad i don't know if we can use. what we did is use RL gh162 Peach, a full apricot color which completely trumps the tiles, and feels like Paris in the 30s (or how i imagine it...)
those pale mint greens are tricky and i make people make me use them. look to the BMoore classic deck, the new colors are more saturated and were put out to compete w/ Ralph L. also i use golden apple (next to sweet pear) all the time.
color washing i don't know, other than i do sometimes enjoy the effect of a transparent paint before its top coat. i think you still haven't found correct color.
years ago, i heard that there was a high-end paint, $100 /gallon, that had a teensie little drop of every color in the rainbow, so your paint would always look different from every angle etc. Horsefeathers, i think it has to do w/ the light changing during the day. also, i find some colors change more than others, while red tends to hold its place. never did find that paint.
15 color chips--throw ten of them out immediately. sometimes i think there are only 50 color in the whole world, and the rest are for a decorator trying to match the exact shade in a Toile-de-Jouy. You're thinking too much, use your gut more. also, for the person who painted bathroom green 4x--ultimately, maybe green isn't the right thing. but agian, see benjamin moore classic colors, or the new RL.
thank you, re floor. you actually can't see the floor boards at all in real life, that's just the photograph. also, each color has it's own faux marbling patern, which you can't see at all here.
MARK C, thanks for the response re: color washing. I agree with you that I haven't found the right color yet.
You know, these greeny-golds seem to be cropping up everywhere lately, and they are soooo lovely, but I think in my case, it just ain't gonna work out in my room.
The hunt continues.
Thanks again.
mylubbock -- Since you like the tone of Sweet Pear but want it in a tangerine, I'd go to a Benjamin Moore store and check out the orange chips that are in the same section as Sweet Pear. Paint manufacturers often have a consistent style across their color chart, so if you like the subtlety or the lighting variations for one color, you're more likely to like it for other colors in the same line. (That's how I ended up as a crazed Valspar fan when we lived on the other coast.)
That's if no one just names a color as a starting point...
Excellent advice. I clearly have a lot of looking and thinking to do. (I am very interested in the color + lighting discussions as our house has a lot of natural light during the day, and then at night the lighting is haphazard.)
Thanks for everyone's help. I look forward to more Color Therapy posts.
Cross referencing some posts, new one at AT-SF:
Old one I sent in back in March:
Note that Windows users can calibrate their monitors using the Color By Number system from Colorcharts.org
Mark, just wanted to let you know that before you even posted your advice to me, that's exactly what i did. i am now down to 7, one of which i think is too dark but my roommate disagrees. and one of which i'm pretty sure is too intense but i'm giving it another chance.
Mark C, are you talking about C2 paint? I have a couple of rooms painted with this brand of paint and I love them... though I wouldn't say that they look different from every angle. But the colors are very rich. And they have big swatches you can buy and hang on the wall for a preview. I was looking for a terra cotta that wouldn't be too orange, too peach, too coral, and I found one (Sweet Potato). So I'm a fan.
Light affects Color.
Color affects Light.
Here's a picture on AT-LA showing how color affects light:
The light coming in the window isn't pink. The wall isn't pink either. It's the light bouncing off the pink chairs onto the walls. That's an OBVIOUS way of noticing that color affects light.
What about less dramatic thoughts? The light coming in my bedroom at dawn is orange, not from the sun, but from bouncing off the yellow and orange walls of the building (and the rays being more "golden"). Shortly after that, the light coming in is green, when the sun's angle has changed and is then hitting the grass in the courtyard. I mean, these are the way the light that shows up on the wall of my bed area appears...not just a hint, but truly orange shades or green shades.
If direct sun hits the big plant in my living area, the room gets a greenish glow, and what was once apricot is now a shade of green.
During those times of day, there's NOTHING I can do on the incoming colored light, I can't tear down the building, and I can't remove the grass. I could remove my indoor plants, but I won't.
What's outside YOUR window(s)? What is permanently altering the color coming in your home? Some colors may NEVER show up "right" because you'll always have brick red or asphalt and concrete greys or green park light coming in your home.
I have NO IDEA if Mark does this or if anyone does this, but a color consultation would be swell. For an expert, like Mark, to pay a visit to a home, go through the home and see the lighting and what is affected by what where.
Especially since Mark works in/with the area (the sun isn't rising or setting differently two blocks away, it's just the buildings may be different) and KNOWS what colors work in the area, he'd be a good one to call.
It would be SOOOO much easier to pick a color if Mark came out, said he's used three different shades successfully in fifteen west-facing rooms. Then you only have to pick out of three.
Two of which might be ruled out by flooring or furnishings.
That might not be for everyone, but by golly, think of the time/energy savings in comparison. He can come out and spend an hour or half hour, vs you making several trips to and from the paint store, trying endless swatches, taping up paint chips, and STILL not getting "the right color" for your room.
I have to agree with absolutely everything Andree has written about color here. Well put, Andree.
As for your horsefeathers comment Mark C., I think you are referring to full spectrum paint. There are a number of manufacturers -- Donald Kaufman, Citron, and several others whose names I forget; I don't think that any of them use every single pigment available, but may use between 8 and 16 pigments whereas regular paint generally uses 3 to 4.
Having been through art school and having spent a lot of time mixing colors and playing with colors, I fully subscribe to the claim that full spectrum paints are more lively and have more depth than regular paints.
I first cottoned on to full spectrum paint when I went to the Calvin Klein store on Madison. I wasn't taken by what was in the store so much as the store itself. I walked around, and the walls (which seemed white to me at the time, but are actually ivory or almost cream) were literally glowing and shimmering. It was an unbelieveable experience (yes, it was a sunny day, and there is a huge skylight); almost a religious one. I researched it, and learned the space was designed by John Pawson and that Donald Kaufman mixed a custom color for the walls. (Irony of ironies, I later learned that Trappist monks in Bohemia hired Pawson to design their monastery http://www.godspy.com/culture/Novy-Dvur-and-the-Stylish-Austerity-of-John-Pawson-by-Deyan-Sudjic.cfm , in part because of the Calvin Klein store, albeit not as the result of a personal visit).
So I got myself the packs of Donald Kaufman swatches, and checked them out on our walls (they are larger than usual), and eventually painted most rooms with them. Most of our walls are shades of Kaufman white (he is a master at mixing white, and has done commissions for many major galleries and museums) , although I used his deepest green on one wall in the living room, oxblood red in the entrance, and a yellowish green (in the same vein as the one above) in the guest room. We've had overwhelming positive feedback on it, and we love the colors.
The walls absolutely change with the changing lighting conditions -- for example, under incandescent light, the green wall becomes a warm brownish green, and under morning light it is a deeper forest green. The color has amazing depth, which I have never seen in another paint.
We have a couple of rooms painted with leftover paint from our last apartment (my husband didn't want to waste the stuff), and the difference is remarkable. First, the colors were picked for different conditions, and they don't work in our current space. Second, the colors are pretty flat and really don't change much; in low lighting conditions, they just become greyer versions of themselves.
Full spectrum paints don't provide every color (there aren't true brights, like a french blue or a bold fuschia), but I think that they are definately something worth checking out.
gosh, just read about donald kaufman online, and am intrigued. perhaps I stand corrected. it's only availble in NJ and i don't have a car, but Fine Paints of Europe is available at Janovic ($100/gallon, natch) and is a full spectrum paint as well. will look into. Always an open mind.
This is the one I'd seen online before, the Ellen Kennon brand of full spectrum paint.
There are a few pictures, but I'd still rather see them in person. Darned if I can find the price there though.
Mark, if you do try out some of these brands (especially ones like Ellen that has packets or sample jars), give us your report!!!
I just sent in a link to another paint to AT-SF, called Devine Color:
They have sample packets too. Might be kind of fun to try some different things. And as a professional, you can give us feedback on them. Perhaps incorporating some of the paints into certain aspect of your murals? A smidgen of this here and a touch of that there might make a lot of difference?
MONIKA if you live in new york i would genuinely be interested in seeing your full spectrum painted walls. my instinct is that it is best suited to minimalists on a park avenue budget, but i'd like to see it in person.
went to ellen kennon, i can't tell the difference from a photo, i think it needs to be seen in person
I meant to put in the text from another area for Devine Color, which would help explain the other part of my post. The "Light affects Color" portion.
"The concept of Devine Color was the innovative creation of artist and color consultant, Gretchen Schauffler. A Puerto Rico native and acclaimed artist, Schauffler realized the gray light of the Pacific Northwest left even the warmest of colors looking limp. Schauffler believed there was a way to warm the colors and enhance the ambience in any room."
From: http://www.millerpaint.com/estore/About.htm#paint
And the part about "dawn's golden light"...which is the sun coming through more atmosphere...er...coming through it at an angle. When the sun is setting is the best light for skin tone. The sky is glowing, the skin is glowing, probably why romantic people spend a lot of time watching the sun set. Everything is gilded. Even black asphalt is washed with gold.
Mark, that paint would be far too expensive for me to use in a big space. BUT...I did my little apartment kitchen with a less than a quart of paint. Just the walls. What, four quarts to a gallon? Twenty-five dollars in paint for a small kitchen? That doesn't sound too bad. And if it was as lively as Monika says, it could make the world of difference to countless numbers of small kitchens and bathrooms.
I have no window in either kitchen or bath, so the neat paint would be lost on my space. There is no light to change the color. The only two paints that would really show up are both BenMo. One is "glow in the dark" and the other is a glitter top coat.
I think either would horrify everyone here. I'd be banned just for suggesting such a thing. Although, I did suggest the BenMo glitter paint for a young girls room for the ceiling, and from what the woman said, it came out very nice and her daughter is happy as a clam with her starry sky.
Mark C. - my heart is in New York, but my walls (and the rest of me) are in Ottawa...
At the very least, you can check out the walls at the Calvin Klein store (best on a sunny day); I kid you not, it was magical, and had me hooked right away.
I bought my paint chips further up Madison at that architecture and design bookstore; they probably still sell them. In any case, Donald Kaufman has written at least 2 books on colour, and they probably have them in stock, so worth checking out. What is so amazing about them is how huropeis colours are used in more traditional, as opposed to minimal, spaces. I too thought that the aknowledged master of white would be a minimalist... However, as I am sure Andree would caution, although the books give you a sense of the colour schemes, they are not a precise representation of the actual colours or paints.
We got our Kaufman colours from Fine Paints of Europe (Elliot is amazing!), which is the company responsible for the paint in the CK store (he specifies it for most of his clients). The Kaufman product from Jersey is actually in a Benjamin Moore base.
huropeis = his (sleeping cat typing!)
monika, you can't possibly still be checking this post, but i spoke w/ elliot, bought two FPE color decks, and hope to report more soon. will be using this outrageous coral color in the next few days. even on the deck you can tell how complex they are.
You're right, colors look different from the monitor to the printer to the sample chip to what's in the actual can. This is because of several different factors. First, color on the computer monitor is affected by how the monitor is calibrated, as well as the screen's resolution. You must match the calibration of the monitor to that of the printer in order for what you see on the screen to print out anywhere close to the same.
Second, each of these media uses a different type of color system, so there's no way to perfectly match the results of another system. The computer monitor uses RGB colors, basically combining zillions of little dots in only those three colors to create the many colors you see. Printed color may use several different systems, but one of the most common is CMYK, or a mix of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.
Finally, paints are mixed using endless combinations of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, plus white and black. The types of pigments used are different from those of inks, so again, you'll see color differences.
When you pick up paint chip samples for most paint lines, what you are getting is merely a printed version of the color, in ink, so you can see that there's no way it will exactly match the actual paint color.
>> My perception is that some paint brands change color in different lights more than others, btw. Am I nuts? <<
No, you're not nuts at all, Wende. That's exactly what happens.
What's going on is a function of a couple of different things. First of all, different brands of paint use different types of pigments to create their colors. Some are naturally occurring, while others are synthetic. Some are higher quality (usually the natural ones), while others are lower quality. The rest of the paint content is binder and base, and the quality (and quantity) of those varies considerably as well. Higher quality paints use better quality pigments, as well as much more actual pigment in each can than binder, and this will dramatically affect the color achieved. Cheaper paints contain a lot of clay and the like, which helps provide better coverage at lower cost, but it muddies colors and flattens them, so you will never, ever achieve the same quality of color with a cheaper paint as you can with a higher quality one.
Most colors are created by mixing some combination of the colors on the color wheel, namely red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, plus black and white. The fewer of these hues that are contained in the can, the "flatter" the color will look, and the less it will vary with the light.
When you get into what are called "full spectrum" paints, that means that more colors from the opposite sides of the color wheel from the base color are used in the formulation, and since each color reflects light differently, changing light will look different. Colors that are mixed using black to darken them will be flatter than those mixed only with the other hues, also. Colors that utilize even small amounts of *all* the colors in the color wheel will be the richest of all.
You can get any number of shades of basic grey from just mixing black and white, for example, but they are all going to be flat. You get really "alive" greys (or browns) when you mix them from one color and its "complement", or the color directly opposite it on the color wheel, such as yellow and violet, orange and blue, or red and green. Bringing in other hues will enrich the color and shift it in whatever direction you want to, and adding white will make it lighter. You can even create many different shades of black with appropriate color mixing which will all be richer than plain old flat black.
What we see as a color is really a complex interaction of pigments and light. I never could keep the technical details of this straight and I'm too tired to look it up at the moment, but suffice it to say that essentially, what we see is a function of what light is reflected or absorbed on a given surface, and light quality and color varies with things like geography, compass direction, weather conditions, and time of day. You're not really seeing something physical so much as a *reflection*, or whatever is left over after other hues are *absorbed* by the light. Color and light are inseparable.
Thus, the color you see on the walls is due to a mixture of characteristics, and more of one color will be absorbed or reflected at different times of day or at different angles, etc. than others. If all you have in the can is one pigment, or that pigment plus some white or black, then you'll see less variation. If all 6 hues are used, you'll see changes throughout the day and with the weather, etc., because different colors will be reflected or absorbed as the light changes.
There are several lines of premixed full spectrum paints available, the Donald Kaufman line being the best known. An even better one is C2.
You can create the same effect with any line or type of paint, though, if you're good at color mixing, or if you've got a paint store or color specialist handy who is. It takes an understanding of color theory to do so efficiently, though, and lots of practice.
Information on the basics and more detailed explanations of this phenomenon can be found in Donald Kaufman's book _Color: Natural Palettes for Painted Rooms_.
Oops, scratch the indigo in my post to Andree. That's part of the spectrum of light, but isn't part of the color wheel that's used for making paints.

I particularly love doing these retreats and sharing the beauty of the island where I am so fortunate to live. San Juan Island is closer to British Columbia's Vancouver Island than it is to mainland USA, and those of us who live here consider it paradise. These three retreats will take place in a beautiful setting, (see for yourself: http://www.lakedale.com) on a lake in a forest with eagles, ravens, occasional foxes, clean fresh air, wonderful food, and best of all the company of knitters over a relaxed and lovely 5 nights and 4 days. The lodge itself has about 10 luxurious rooms (with fireplaces, jacuzzi tubs, free wifi) and there are also cozy cabins which may be shared with a friend. We are in the off-season, so I have arranged for very good rates. Afternoons will be free for exploring the island – there are alpaca farms, hiking trails, beaches, a lovely small town, an outdoor sculpture museum, a yarn shop, whales, harbor seals, and more. Depending on the ferry schedule, we are usually able to spend a day on a ferry using it as a floating classroom. There will be bountiful time to learn lots of knitting techniques, get plenty of one-on-one instructions, make new friends, relax, and make yourself at home on a beautiful island. What I teach shifts from year to year, but I always welcome any projects you want to explore or have help with. I welcome anyone who loves to knit, even if you knit dishcloths year in and year out, you are a knitter and we understand one another and share a kindred well of goodness.
I have not yet opened the 2014 retreats for registration, but you can have a look at the 2014 PDF here: IKR 2014 inquiry PDF The fall 2014 retreats will open for registration in January, 2014. Here is a podcast that includes Jan Hamby's interview with me during an island retreat. And here is an article written by a retreat knitter about her experience.

It is not clear how valproate prevents
Valproate is a drug of choice for:
Valproate prevents seizures in most people who use it to
control complex partial seizures and absence seizures. It is also effective
against generalized tonic-clonic seizures, myoclonic seizures, and atonic
Common side effects of valproate include:
These side effects may increase as the dosage needed to control
seizures increases. Because valproate levels in the body tend to go up and
down, some side effects may vary from day to day or even within a single day.
Nausea and stomach problems usually go away after the body adjusts to the drug.
Hair loss, weight gain, and tremors often come with long-term use of the
Skin rash, a very common side effect of antiepileptic drugs, is
less common with valproate. Valproate tends to have less effect on your
thinking, memory, or learning processes than other antiepileptic drugs (as long
as the drug levels in your bloodstream do not become too high).
Using valproate for a long time can increase your risk of
and broken bones.
FDA Advisory. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
issued an advisory on antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and the risk of suicide. Talk
to your doctor about these possible side effects and the warning signs of suicide in adults and in children and teens.
