Let the children play!

I often get approached by a parent who want to make sure their kid does not go “color crazy”. If not then, when, I say. Kids imaginations step in when they are developing the many ways learn to express who they are. Don’t worry, they will grow in and out of fads, but with color, they can learn to have confidence if given the freedom to try and fail. What a safe way to learn that life-lesson! :) Treat them like a guest and close the door.

Hello – we have been using Devine Paint and we love it. My 14 year old daughter has decided that she wants to paint her room black and green. We will go along with the green, but have said “no” to the black. What other suggestions would you have?

Oh Anonymous, remember, she will then go off to college and apartment living for a long time and wont be able to paint walls, so I say, yes to the black in the right proportion…..black lacquer furniture with a green and black striped accent wall would be very “French” and exceptional. Try Devine Green tea with Devine Piping, or Devine Pistachio Lime with Devine Leather. If black is a no go, Try Devine Shantung. Good luck

Gretchen,

Thank you for helping me reset my priorities! Natalie is the youngest of our three daughters and tends to be a little less girlie than the other two. If we were to go with the stripes on one wall, how do we keep from making it come out looking like a prison? J

Our friends first told us about Devine Paint a few years ago and we have been using it and telling as many people who will listen about it as well. My husband says he won’t even waste his time on any other paint.

Again, thank you for your response!

Regards,

Hello Anonymous:

Make sure that the stripes either vary, in size of in style (maybe 1 fat, 3 skinny, 1 fat). Maybe add a detail like polka-dots! Good luck and thanks so much for the great compliment on our paint!
