Whew. Yesterday was a very long and busy day – I got my car stuck in the mud in the morning, conducted an Exterior Color Consultation in the rain, and then did a Speed Staging in the late afternoon. More about the Speed Staging in a future post, but for today I am reposting a post from last year especially for color-lovers everywhere:

Handmade Valentines Using Paint Swatches
I picked up these paint chips at Lowe’s while I was shopping for lighting and plumbing fixtures for a client this week.

Paint Chip Valentines
Follow me on Pinterest and you’ll find my pinboard, Paint Swatch Crazy, for more ideas for crafts made with paint chips!
