Some of my favorite, cheap DIY ideas involve paint chips. People are happy to share their ideas on sites like COLOURlovers and Scottsdale Living, but what I want to know is how on earth these people are able to swipe so many paint chips?
I was in the Home Depot paint department the other day, trying to gather resources, when I felt the suspicious eyes of a sales associate on my back. I didn't stick around to face the humiliation of being asked to hand over my "free" paint chip samples, and when I left the store, I discovered I'd only managed to grab five sheets -not nearly enough for the 40-60 it takes for one of the smaller projects.
I learned from this adventure that I'm underqualified for this kind of project, but maybe some of you guys will have better luck.
I'm not going to try to justify why I ♥ these photos so much or why exactly bows are on my mind lately. Truth is, I admire "bow-people" (even though I don't think I could pull one off myself). What says, "I'm spunky, fun, and playful," better than a bow?
