Isabelle didn't understand the need and kept complaining that she was hot. Next thing I knew, she had wandered over to the shade of an unoccupied tent - problem solved. :) This was so endearing to me. I love it when my kids figure things out on their own!<br />

I receive a lot of emails asking for paint colors from past furniture projects. They're listed in the original posts, but to make them a little more accessible, I've put them together in a two part post as a quick reference.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All colors are Benjamin Moore...and not for an specific reason other than they have good colors. :)</div>
