  One day I decided I needed change (this happens rather often with me), so I went out, and being an artist, I purchased not 2-4 samples for painting two rooms. No… I was compelled to purchase 15 samples for 2 rooms. After painting my living room ( I still haven’t gotten to that 2nd room), I notice all of the paint samples that I’ve accumulated. I notice that I love the colors. I feel the textures, and it’s fluidity was like frosting for cake (which I will drive several miles for the best of). I began to play with it, and this was the beginning of my interior house paint adventures… Stop by and visit some time. peace
