Whenever someone asks me for paint color advice, I always have the same reply: Pick the one that you are immediately drawn to. Paint it on the wall. Live with it for a few weeks. If you don’t love it after those few weeks, then you need to pick another color.

Well, I recently had to take my own advice. I’ve lived with this crazy yellow wall for a few weeks. It was perfect on the swatch. Perfect on the sample that I painted. But on the whole wall? Negatory. It was blinding.

To that end, I had a few favorite pins from last week’s linky party. The first was a cute map lap desk that Heather from Queen of Everything made for her nephew. They are going on a road trip this summer, and the lap desk has the shapes of each state they will visit.
