How Green Becomes Wood

"Yeah? That would be cool! Very spa-like. What about a forest den for your bedroom? Dark and earthy and green and very calm and cozy," Alec suggested. "I want a small room just for sleeping when I have my own place."
 
"I don't know, maybe... It might be nice. I'm not sure if I'm really a forresty person though. I look great in green, though," She shrugged, pulling into the parking lot of the nail salon, "No decorations at all in the sleeping chamber?"
 
"You do look fabulous in green," Alec agreed. He got out of the car before answering her question. "Most likely, yes, but I haven't decided what that might be. Cozy vibes, whatever it is. I gotta have some sort of glitter somewhere in the house, though. What about in the living room? Maybe on the ceiling!"
 
"A glitter ceiling could be really cool," Sloan agreed, locking her car door, "Or like... a glitter accent wall. I saw someone online who collected all of these vintage hand mirrors, and he hung them up the way someone would build a gallery wall, and I thought that was really cool. It really caught the light. Claire says she wants her house to be like Barbie's."
 
"I don't know if everything will be pink, but you know, pinks, purples, blues, whites, that sort of thing," Sloan answered, "It's a shock to all of us, when she was a kid she was the biggest tomboy."
 
"I could totally see that," Alec smiled. "She seems tomboy-ish, in the best way possible. I could totally live in like a pastel world, as long as there were pops of vibrancy! I do wonder. Xander and I always said we'd get our own place to share one day. If that happens, how are we going to hand the decor? We could paint a line down the center of the house inside and out and decorate our own sides!"
 
"Does she still now?" Sloan asked, glancing at him, "She doesn't seem that way to me now, but I've known her my entire life. And you and Xander could always just go by rooms. He gets the kitchen, you get the dining room, that sort of thing."
 
"Not like full tomboy, but she's got like an underlying vibe," Alec explained. "Like... a Barbie barbarian or something. Decorating a full half-and-half house would be more funny, but going by rooms would make more sense," Alec agreed. "We could buy a duplex, like the full thing."
 
"Do me a favour, don't call her that," Sloan chuckled, "I don't think it would go over well. A duplex would be really cool, though. I read a book about a duplex when I was a kid, and there were secret passages connecting the two, because they were meant to be... sealed up, or something. I don't actually remember most of it."
 
"I was always really jealous of it," Sloan said, "What kid doesn't want secret passage ways? Thanks." Once they were in the salon, Sloan went up to the counter and checked the pair of them in, at which point they were told to pick out their colours and directed to the great shining wall of bottles.
 
"The decision paralysis is real here," Alec said soberly, looking over the massive amount of choices. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes. "Dark blue! I need to aim for the blue section." He started looking though the blue section, taking note of the ones he liked best and trying not to get distracted. Finally, after running a few options past Sloan, he picked out a beautiful, darker shade of blue that gleamed but didn't sparkle, and a golden color with sparkle that he wanted on a single nail.

"What do you think?" Alec asked Sloan, showing her the colors. "Should I put the gold on just one nail? Or maybe do something like a French manicure look?"
 
"That's a really great blue!" Sloan agreed, still looking for her ideal shades, "I love french tips, personally, so I would always vouch for that. I've also seen, lately, where people put the sparklier polish at their nail beds rather than at the tips. It's different, but I think it's very cool."
 
"Oh yeah, that's a great green for it!" Sloan replied, "Now I just need.... hmm..." She looked over the shelves, then picked up a silver glitter that sparkled rainbows under the light, "Here, this good."
