A Fresh Coat of Paint

I am always amazed at how a little paint can change the entire feeling of an area. Recently I had my house painted, and a new roof installed. The whole process was a bit invasive to the normal ebb and flow of my day, but worth it in the end. It made me realize the difference a fresh coat of paint can make on something.

As you guessed it, it inspired me to spruce some other things up in my outdoor living space. The Garden Pest's house got a new paint job, going from a faded light blue with white trim, to a vibrant teal with chocolate trim. I finally painted my white picket fence ( I installed it over 5 years ago- slacker much?), and my mother donated some lovely cushions to replace some very old ones on my front porch furniture!

No joke, it looks like a new house! I am excited when I pull into the driveway instead of overwhelmed with the feeling that I will never get everything done.
