We are the Stuarts (formerly of Imperial) now residing in Okinawa, Japan.

This blog started from a desire to bridge the miles as we were preparing to leave the USA for 3+ years. It has turned into much more. It's part travel diary, part personal reflection, part "sociology of military life" and part mommy-blog. We hope you read something here that is interesting to you (or at least not a total waste of your time).

Painting


After over a year of just having the entryway and half the hallway done, I decided to get serious and finish painting the living and dining areas. That's how I roll...random bursts of inspiration.


My SIL, Brittani, had acquired the paint chip I needed from Sherwin Williams way back when (the same color from our old house) and I took it into Self-help (base hardware store where you can check out tools, get replacement light bulbs, towel rods, etc.) and they matched it for me. I am still in love with this color. Universal Khaki.



Jake was a huge help. Coree helped me for a bit, too. Troy opened windows and doors and complained about getting high off the fumes. I say, "Why complain about it? It's like an added bonus!"

I'll make sure to post pics when it's finished.
