It's
amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do! I've been meaning to
paint our living area and my little office (Earnhardt shrine) for a
while now. I kept putting it off because I didn't want to deal with
moving furniture and taking everything off the walls. Well, I
finally got around to it last week. The soft grey is a perfect
neutral background. I love the results, all clean and fresh and
neat. Baseboards, floors, and shelves are shining. 
The
best part is that I edited what went back into each space. Fewer
knick-knacks and pictures give both rooms a peaceful feeling. No
clutter. Believe it or not, I didn't rearrange the furniture, at
least not until I get a new rug. I have a few boxes of Dale 3
collectibles stashed in the closet, and a load of other stuff headed
for donation.
It's
energizing, creative, and satisfying to freshen up our home. A
little paint doesn't cost much, but it does make a huge difference in appearance, attitude, and outlook.

Notion: Fresh paint is like a brand new notebook, an empty shelf, or a new day. You get a new perspective and a choice of what
you want to change.
"You have a clean slate every day you wake up. You have a chance every single morning to make that change and be the person you want to be. You just have to decide to do it. Decide today's the day. Say it: This is going to be my day." --Brendan Burchard
