Stealing from Artists

I found this cool site that shows color palettes from famous paintings. Could be a cool resource for decorating or scrapbooking or ...?

"What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit."
John Updike

I thought this was a cool quote.

The 99 Cent Store

I love the 99 cent store. I'm blown away that people can make an HGTV room from 99 cent store accessories and 2 cans of paint. I shopped at our local 99 cent only store today and spent $30. It was an awesome time. The printed glasses, kitchen supplies, school supplies, these are the kinds of things I found irresistible. I will be going back again soon. Very soon.
