It’s way too soon (and too expensive) to repaint my apartment.  Nonetheless, I didn’t like the scuffs on the walls from things like refrigerator deliveries and removals and over-energetic vacuum-cleaner-activity.  But the real incentive to act was the two-three-inch unpainted kitchen wall area exposed because my new refrigerator doesn’t stick out as far as its predecessor.  (I may have lost you by now, and I totally understand.)

My left-over paint was dried up, so I bought the smallest amount my hardware store would sell me, and I painted the kitchen wall and touched up the scuffed areas elsewhere with an old make-up brush.  It was so easy and soooo satisfying.

Sometimes the joy is in the little things.
