We're currently painting the exterior doors and shed. The house is white. The doors are now becoming pale greyish blue (in the shade it looks baby blue) and the accent is a buttery yellow. Don't ask how I came to choose those colors - I'm wondering it myself!

Anyway, Tomorrow is the 4th of July. Independance Day. Our shed faces a busy street with high visibility. I was thinking of painting a huge mural of a waving American Flag on the back of the shed tomorrow. I have the paint, so cost isn't a worry. I can use the pale greyish blue and butter yellow as highlights to tie the mural in with the house.

I think it would be cool. I saw some documentaries on tv about barns, roofs, sheds, etc all painted with a flag mural.

Or would it be silly to paint?

Would people be "mad" if my blue stripes were not the exact shade blue on the flag? Would I be inviting cristism?

Also, our yard is not the prettiest in town. Our house and yard need a lot of work. I don't want to make this huge statement when the rest of our house looks pretty neglected.

Anyway... all this rambling because I'm not sure I want to do this flag mural. I do because I think we need reminding of how important our independance is. I don't because I'm unsure how it'll be received by people. and because... well.... it HOT out! LOL
