Instead of blogging about painting – I’ve actually been painting. I have to say, the move to action has been quite rewarding. I’m painting my daughter’s room a pretty shade of lilac. It’s super girly and she loves it.
I think the Benjamin Moore store might be my new favorite place too. Everything in the place catches my eye. It’s paint chip after paint chip of possibility. I stopped in front of the painter’s paints yesterday and seriously considered their purchase. I put them back, I’m not a professional, and the last time I wore painter’s paints I had a giant comb sticking out of my back pocket.
Back to painting – Got my light, got my drop cloth, got the hits station playing on the crackling FM radio – Hall and Oates, Journey, and DefLeppard. Perfecto.

Nothing like a fresh coat of paint to shake things up a bit! Don’t you wish you could slap a coat on your whole life sometimes? I know I do.

A fresh coat of paint is indeed an amazing change…

My good friend Keith’s wife is a colorist for Benjamin Moore over in Sudbury. If you ever want to bounce ideas, she’s awesome at it.

Thank you! I do – I also want to paint an end table some crazy glossy color to contrast with the lilac…something a 4 year old girl would dig…
