What's in your basement?

Over the years, I've accumulated lots of paint. You name it, gallons, spray cans, acrylic, etc.. Seems like I use it once or twice and then bury it somewhere deep in the basement.

At one time or another, that color meant something to me. Tears streaming down my face now! No really, the other day my oldest daughter was asking for a chalk board in her room when I remembered that I had a can of chalkboard paint in the basement. YeeHaw!



Now I have no idea why I bought this paint in the first place, but nonetheless, there it was, all dusty and grinning at me as I pulled it from an abandoned shelf in the basement. It was like the book Cordoroy! I felt like this can of paint had been sitting there for years waiting to be put on some kid's wall!



So I go upstairs to the girls room and I tape off an area (without measuring or anything). I would never get anything accomplished if I always had to be so precise! And about 20 minutes later, the first coat was on and my girls were thrilled!


The Best part is that it was FREE!
