The paint department

The paint department at lowes just may be my favorite place in the world. The colors surround me and i could just sit there and soak them all in. i wish i could take all the paint samples and cut them up and make some kind of colorful collage. Because that would be awesome! I think they would start to get suspicious if i took a sample of each though! The paint department is filled with decorative inspiration. They have catalogs that show you how to put colors together in a room or you can use your imagination! the opportunities are endless! it is dangerous and sometimes puts my marriage in jeopardy :) because i am constantly wanting to paint or renovate or make something old look new. But that is the beauty of it. since i dont get to paint or create as often, my house becomes my canvas!
Anyway, livi and i went to go get paint for the baby's room. (Because he needs a blue room of course!) Livi was excited and kept talking about the paint. She was sitting in the cart at the paint desk and we were discussing what they were doing with the paint, how they were fixing the color to match what we wanted and then he put it in the big box that shakes and we were talking about how that mixes the paint. So livi kept saying "it mix, it mix, it mix mommy?" It stopped shaking and livi yells "It's done!" to the workers at the paint desk. They just started cracking up. The man said," Your mommy must buy alot of paint, we have people that work here that dont even know that!" They were so tickled. So livi has a job at the lowes paint desk when she is old enough. They were enamored by her and she was eating it up!
We also went down the tile aisle because i just have to look. And i always ooh and aahh and if jimi is with me, he just rolls his eyes and heads for the door. but livi was oohing and aahhing with me and i looked at her and with love in my eyes, told her how happy i was she shared my enthusiasm for tile! we even rubbed our fingers over the beautiful tiles and she was just as excited as i was! It made my day! We may be a dangerous pair later in life, especially at lowes!!
