Paint By Number

Some of you know that I have had a veritable caravan of home improvement people filing through the Little Condo on the Prairie as of late. The first thing I did was have the carpets cleaned. I LOVE clean carpets. My new blinds come in a couple weeks. Today, I had the second bedroom and bathroom painted lovely shades of blue.

Growing up, I enjoyed accompanying my dad on trips to J.C. Licht, a local paint store. There are two reasons for this. One, it was close to Grandpa’s house. If Grandpa was home, he made us lunch. If Grandpa wasn’t home, I knew we’d stop at Portillo’s on the way back to our place. Two, I enjoy color in all forms. Brand-new crayons, colored pencils, pastels, construction paper, rainbows, flowers, fresh fruits and vegetables. One of the best things about owning your own home is you can paint it any color you wish. It’s so much fun!  Sarabeth, my new roommate, moves in sometime in August. She requested blue or lavender. Benjamin Moore #816 and #817 it is.

So Many Shades
