By the Number

Yes yes, I know that adult coloring books are all the rage right now, but I want to bring back paint by number.  These things are seriously zen.  And you get a painting out of it.  That you can hang on your wall and pretend to be all humble about- "oh that little thing?  it was nothing" My mom gave me a paint by number kit for my birthday back in April and now that I'm trying to hit the reset button after flip craziness I decided to give it a go.  It's absolutely perfect because you can use it to fill a 10 minute void or get lost in it for hours.  I'm far from done, but I think this trend needs to seriously be brought back.

Vintage paint by numbers have been a pretty hot commodity for a while now- with spaces like these, it's no wonder why!

A welcoming character home from Roger & Chris.  This home is bananas and turns me into a heart eyed emoji every time I see it. (Go here.  You're welcome.)

 

My own paint by number kit was from Country Living Magazine, but there are so many new kits available in every subject matter imaginable!  I think I'm addicted.  It's like knitting with paint.  Have I sold you on it yet?
