For Sale: red paint, and lots of it.

When we found out we would be moving to a brand new site and into a brand new house, Sarah and I went crazy thinking of awesome ideas for decorating our new space.  An obnoxious amount of time was spent searching for murals for our walls while we were still in Kakata, and looking back now, I question our motives.

Since our arrival in Pleebo, we have accomplished two murals in our new space.  Or…let me rephrase.  Sarah has accomplished two lovely murals in our new space.  In her room, she has painted beautiful flowers on her walls that serve as a nice accent and make her room look just a little homier.  On the wall in our hallway, she also did a cool mural in Sharpie marker, which has added a little inspiration to our lives :)

Armed with grand schemes of beautiful murals, we arrived in Pleebo and then realized our situation.  The only way to buy paint in town is by the gallon, so we now have 4/5 of a gallon of red paint if anyone should need some.  Pair that with the giant paint brushes that are available here, and you have a recipe for anything but a detailed mural.  Instead, you get beautiful flowers on Sarah’s wall and a nice collage of pictures I brought from home on my wall. 

I wouldn’t have it any other way, though.  We know what we wanted for our space, and upon realizing our limits, we adapted quite well, I think.  Besides, we needed a door stop for our front door, and that full paint can works perfectly.
