Sadly, when I visited a number of years ago, it was a solo adventure. It was still lovely but now I’d like to take my hubby there [...]

I never know where I’ll find a little inspiration – last week I discovered it (and some great shopping) at the Atlanta airport!
When I approached the security area where you walk thru a maze to have your boarding pass & ID checked, I noticed there was a new shop!

Paint Stored Right

February 5, 2009

I was recently talking to our painter and she told us we were not storing our paint correctly. She said it should be stored someplace where you have a relatively steady, moderate temperature. Our paint is in the garage on the shelves the previous owners set it up.
