Great Trade

Times are tough... everyone knows this. So these days it's great to have a trade-able skill. One day while hanging out with my fabulous "also-an-at-home-mum" neighbor Amy, she lamented to me about her nasty 80's light wood/dark grain built-in cabinets and how they just weren't grooving with her new "spanish hacienda" design theme. I was complaining about having just paid short of my first born for a haircut! She being a "former" pro stylist/colorist and me being a "former" painter - we swapped. I re-did her cabinets in a theme-appropriate rustic teal with antiquing methods for authenticity. And she re-did my hair with some summer color and a refreshing new cut. Gotta love a good barter...
