Like Cars,

Buy a Rolls Royce pay an additional $30,000 for the special option paint
job. Take the car home, whip out K-Marts best exterior latex paint
and repaint your brand new Rolls.


Like jewelery with Diamonds?

Buy a ring with a single 10 caret diamond. Take it to the local watch
repair shop and have him break the diamond into a bunch of 1/4 caret
diamonds, take them to your dentist and have them imbedded in your front
teeth so that you really have a smile that shines.


Like Gucci products?

Buy a $15,000 what ever with a Gucci label on it and decorate it with
your "bedazzler kit".

Like wood floors?

Sand your Mesquite floor and stain it a very dark color to hide all of
its beauty. Hell, paint it with the K-Mart latex paint.

With talent and artistic sensibilities like these Leon, you can become a
redneck decorator!! There must be at least a million or two down home
country folk in your neighborhood who would appreciate this inspired craftsmanship. ;-)


LOL, I just could not help myself.. Mesquite floors IMHO are the best of
all worlds, it is a very hard wood, gorgeous and does not move more than
2% from tree to floor.
