I spend 1/2 my time in Home Decor ( the other day I cut 48 Plantation Faux wood Blinds!!!)...and the other 1/2 of my time is in the PAINT DEPT.......I LOVE PAINT!!!....I keep telling my managers ( and everyone else who will listen) that I LOVE PAINT!.....OH, the YUMMY colors!!!
So.....after catching up on some blog reading this morning ( I work 10-7 today)...I came across this past posting from THE NESTER (who would absolutely LOVE the Home Decor MIS-TREATMENTS!)....where she reveals her favorite paint color Tobacco Road.....OK...now....just to let you all know what I have discovered in the past few weeks at LOWES is: Pay NO ATTENTION to the ad on TV about color matching that BIG PURPLE animal....it wont work.....anything with any texture or mix of colors( that pillow with brown/black/tan specks) will not be an EXACT match....sorry!..BUT>>>I CAN match that piece of trim you yanked off your wall ...OH...and we have also color matched a FINGER NAIL ( yes...the nail..!!!)EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW!!!.... ..AND.....you CAN bring in MOST color names or #'s off other paint companies...and we can mix it for you....because we have the secret code!(...ok..the computer does)...and ALSO....we can do University and SPORTS team colors too!....which is UBER cool!..
Now...in my opinion....IF you are going to take the time to paint...then I would advise you to use Lowes VALSPAR Signature or Ultra Premium paints.....(no, this is not a commercial...just my "expert"??? opinion)....The difference between Valspar & Olympic paints is like the difference between CREAM( valspar)...and WATER(olympic).....SO....if you are just painting to move out of where you are...or just need a quickie coverup...then use the Olympic...BUT...if you want the YUMMINESS ..and are planning on living with the color for a while, then absolutely use Valspar...you will not be disappointed!
Also...if you have a LOWES in your town....and have kiddos.....you need to take advantage of our BUILD & GROW program.....Two saturdays every month...we do a FREE Craft project with the kids....sign up on-line....the next one is scheduled for June 28th....UBER COOL baseball field!
I have been soooooooooo happy to be put in charge of this the past few sessions....I LOVE THE KIDS!!
Ok.....so...thats it for right now....I have to get some creating done.....my STUDIO is overflowing with projects!!!!!
Thanks for visiting....
Creative blessings,
