I'm just not into it, yet my family really enjoys those movies. Just not my thing. <br /><br />I get the cat knocking things over. Live and learn, here, has mentioned that quite a lot with her cats. And I remember life with cat in the house. Every.single,thing was fair game to be knocked off a counter or shelf.<br /><br />It sounds like your daughter is an art appreciator. So whatever you did with your kids growing up, it allowed her to follow her own path. Good job!<br /><br />Have a great day, Alice!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-53938336065816370132016-10-10T11:15:40.739-07:002016-10-10T11:15:40.739-07:00Hi Patti,

Sometimes, when I just can't get myself to begin a project, I do something small using the same technique, just to get my foot in the door, so to speak. It works for me. Kinda like "fooling" myself into cleaning out a cupboard. I tell myself I'll just do the top shelf. And before I know it, I've done the whole thing!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-14407039403227177812016-10-10T11:12:27.496-07:002016-10-10T11:12:27.496-07:00:):)Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-56933875366225827912016-10-10T11:09:25.383-07:002016-10-10T11:09:25.383-07:00I looked at something similar on Pinterest but was...I looked at something similar on Pinterest but wasn't sure it was something I could do .

I don't decorate anything either. It would just be something else for the cat's to knock over and hubby would call it clutter and my son would go nuts if he saw anything crafty! In elementary school he also disliked art class. He never took an art class again that wasn't required. My youngest daughter is an art history/archaeology/classics/classical languages major and minor. Not sure what it all means but she's doing it. I'll just leave all the "art" outside and just enjoy looking at it!<br />AliceAlicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660543650879805736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-16489825778524607432016-10-10T10:14:09.696-07:002016-10-10T10:14:09.696-07:00Looks like a fun project.

I could buy a wooden stool and paint that first to see if it is the right color for the kitchen. We could make some crates on wheels and paint that also.

Interesting bit about introversion/extrove...Hi YHF,<br />Interesting bit about introversion/extroversion and color choices. I don't know what I am, maybe more of an introvert, but as a child, definitely more of an extrovert. So, who I am now happened somewhere in between, and maybe isn't my "true" personna. But I wear neutral colors in large part because I don't like to be noticed. I love color, however. <br /><br />With your cabinets, that sounds really interesting. It's had to take that leap, though, isn't it? Maybe you could choose a smaller project to get you started and see if this is indeed what you want. <br /><br />Would you use the chalk paint surface for chalk messages? Maybe a bulletin board/message center on one cabinet front near a phone or doorway, or a cabinet that stands alone, more from the rest. Or even a framed piece of board, in an ordinary stand-up frame, on the counter, for messages on the chalk paint. Sounds interesting, and a fun project sometime!<br /><br />have a great day, YHF!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-2205334892082692072016-10-10T06:56:52.709-07:002016-10-10T06:56:52.709-07:00Hi Lisa,

I have an old pocket book sitting on our bookshelf that is the perfect color, so I am going to use that as a swatch when I am ready. The problem is I am very conservative with using colors, I stick with neutrals so much, that now everything is so very bland and uninteresting. But I am scared to take that leap, and always talk myself out of doing it just yet. Also I don't want to spend a lot of money on a kitchen remodel and paint is the cheapest bang for the buck. It would anchor the green entry tiles that seem to be a bit too bold for the rest of the house.<br /><br />It's interesting that you love to see color, but choose neutrals to wear. I am the opposite. I tend to wear colors but prefer to see neutrals and natural colors. I recall learning something about the meaning of this, something to do with introversion/extroversion but can't quite remember it all. Something about if you are introverted, you don't mind the competition with color in what you wear. I know it was counterintuitive.<br /><br />Nice craft project. And using your stock supplies is always a plus, especially the paint which you bought in foresight. I love when that happens, as that is what I do a lot, buy pre-need lol<br /><br />I don't have any home decor items worthy to show. Not even my rag rugs. Still not happy with the results. <br /><br />Have a nice, beautiful day!!<br /><br />YHF<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-57613143060382651322016-10-10T04:22:28.050-07:002016-10-10T04:22:28.050-07:00You might just have given me an idea for Christmas...You might just have given me an idea for Christmas presents.. with pine boughs, berries, etc!

I'll see if I can get a photo of it soon. <br /><br />I love that you love getting the paint for 79¢. At times It makes me feel good to buy something that I enjoy, especially when I've been doing so well not spending for a long time. <br /><br />I've been busy cleaning this week. I cleaned out a freezer and washed my older car and hosed down the back porch and those things make me feel good too. I love to sit back and look at things all clean and shiny. I love to look at a freshly mowed lawn too.Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.com
