Purple

Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.

Garden Tip

I liked this – I am not sure if it is permanent or temporary.

Using steel containers would allow you to reposition your plants in your garden until you decide their perfect placement, while looking intentional.

“The grass is greener on the other side of the fence” – is it really?

It is! It is an optical illusion. When you look at the grass at your feet you are seeing all the imperfections in the grass – the dirt, the leaves and sticks. Look across the fence to your neighbors yard and you see their grass not from above, but from an angle. From this view you do not see the imperfections in their grass and the grass does appear greener.

“The yellow glistens.
It glistens with various yellows,
Citrons, oranges and greens
Flowering over the skin.”
― Wallace Stevens

Last week I had several phone calls from frustrated home owners who’s contractors and painters are pressuring them to choose a paint color within 24 hours. STOP!!!! take a breath, do not let them bully you – this is personal and expensive decision that should take time.

A big decision like this needs to go through a process. A professional can help you with this process specifically a Paint Color Consultant who can help you choose colors you will love. Paint color consultants will help you determine the paint colors that will work with your furnishing, how lighting will effect the color on your walls and how colors will flow from room to room. Paint color consultants will bring larger samples and you should take time to use sample pots to test your colors before committing.

Don’t be bullied into making a decision before your ready. While there might be contractors and/or painters who can choose a painter color, it might not be the right color for you. Remember they are working for you!

Product Review – Rust-Oleum “Rust Reformer”

Rust-Oleum makes a product called Rust Reformer. It claims to stop and cover rust all by itself. For this project, I did use a wire brush to remove loss paint before spraying the rust with the Rust Reformer. My top coat is a satin black metal spray paint too minimize visual imperfections. A glossy paint would have enhance  the imperfections.

Rust-Oleum Rust Reformer was easy to use looks like it did the job – time will tell how it holds up against the rust.
