Paint– the Miracle Stuff
Posted by: Mrs. M / Category: bargains, design, home decor, paintingI love paint! When I first moved to this house, the walls, trim, and even parts of the floors had all been painted white. Talk about ugly! So that was the first thing I did, paint everything and add some color. 
I added some bright colors to my walls and trim and spruced up the place very inexpensively (as compared to a gut-and-remodel). I even tried some painting techniques on some walls– lightly sponging diluted white paint onto yellow walls; blotching greens and reds for a different room.
Paint can save a ton of money, and it’s the least expensive decorating activity I know. It won’t save enough for Las Vegas vacations, but it’ll put a dent in the decor budget! So I’m always looking for cute new ideas to tide me over until I can get new walls, lol. I saw “doodle wall art” at My Insanity and was floored. Isn’t that beautiful! What a great idea, and doodling is “in” these days. Plus, when you grow tired of it, just paint over it! Love it!
Photo is from My Insanity, too. It’s a great blog to peruse for neat little things like this.

How fun…. We just moved in as well to all white walls. We added color to all rooms except the bathroom and kitchen so far. I haven’t figured what I wanted to do in there. This website might help. Thanks
