    paint colors in our home

    paint colors at 320
     My number one question in emails is: what is that paint color? Sooooo, I updated my FAQ. Did you even know I had a FAQ section? I’m working on it!
    You can click each the picture for more info. As you can see, we’re not paint snobs. I think we’ve tried every brand there is! We’ve been through a lot of paint together, haven’t we? :)

    a few quick updates

    26 April 2012

    Hi all! I am in a major funk. It’s raining, I’m in the middle of making reservations and plans for our summer vacation, calling around for the best deal on new tires for our van, hating how expensive everything is, and the day is half over. I almost forgot I had a blog this week :)
    Can we talk ceiling fans in the bedroom?
    I know some of you have strong opinions about them, and I don’t think many are pretty, but when I began to tackle the master bedroom, I asked my husband if there was anything in there he had strong feelings about. He said as long as the ceiling fan stayed, he trusted me with the rest. I would love a pretty light fixture in there, but we love air flowage in there too, especially in the summer. So, the ceiling fan isn’t going anywhere.

    tip no. 4

    tip 4

     

    I remember Nate and Oprah talking about this. Why leave your most cherished cards or notes in a box or scrapbook? Frame a couple (or a whole wall full!) so they can bring a smile when you walk past. I told you I would tell the story of the note on my gallery wall in the bedroom.

    april 2012 035 1

    May 30, 1995: Were were seniors in high school and we were beginning to like each other.  I should note that we went to rival high schools. One afternoon in the middle of Mr. Hansen’s government class, the office runner comes in with an armful of lilacs and said, “Melissa Anderson..these are for you.” I could feel my face turning red and my heart racing as my classmates ooooOOOoooooooohhed. I read the note attached. It simply said, “Have a peachy day!   Hobbit”  (that was his nickname in high school) It completely made my day, my month, my year. That he:

    • remembered that I loved lilacs
    • came on to enemy territory to pick the lilacs
    • wrote a note on a piece of secretary’s scrap paper
    • talked her into looking up my room number and having them delivered.

    That’s why I love it when lilacs come out every spring and the first note he ever sent me is my favorite. Do you have a favorite note or card or picture hiding away that you could pull out and frame? signature
