Magical Paint
This paint was the color of the old paint while in the can, and even on the stir-stick... but once it left the can and was applied to the deck, it was significantly lighter in color even while still wet. It dried the same white color as on the right. All fresh paint in this picture (whether in the can or on the deck) is wet.

Lamp
This was a nice surprise. There's this little glass shop in Yellow Springs that has the coolest hand crafted pieces. You can see the workroom; there's a blind cat who's always very friendly. I like going in there, but always comment that I would never buy the pieces that I like because I would never spend so much money on myself for a simple decoration. CJ remembered one of the pieces I had commented on, and surprised me with it for my birthday.
