Step1: Color

We are changing things up a bit around here to transition the office into a playroom.  Seeing as we are budget keepers (4 weeks down!  This is a record for us!), we are trying to pull the funds out of our weekly allowance and from our "new baby" budget, which is not large by any means.  But it's still fun to save up, wait til we've got the mullah, then spend it.  Today we bought paint.  Meet Mac.

Why are paint color names so poetic and long?

Yay! That is a great color.

Here is my budget tip: If you are painting any furniture or trim or cabinets and have an open mind, when you go to home depot or lowes, ask where their clearance paint is. They both have a shelf of paint that other people have returned and it's usually $5/gallon. There's usually a lot of fun colors and if not, there's new stuff every week. It's a cheap way to add some color :)
