Midweek greetings! How’s your week going? The wildfire smoke haze has descended upon us here once again, marking the return of air quality alerts and keeping ourselves primarily indoors. On the plus side, what we feared was going to be a major car repair (or possibly a car replacement) for my husband’s car turned out to be something small. That rarely happens with car repairs. At least, it rarely happens to us.

My landlord used cheap paint for our apartment and I couldn't agree more with your points. If nothing else, I've been become *extremely* aware of what a difference paint quality makes.
I also 100% agree on spending a bit more for good lighting. I've been periodically replacing Ikea lamps as they give out, and the difference is very apparent when looking at pieces side-by-side. Our decorating style leans more colorful/contemporary, and finding quality pieces from smaller companies also just adds a nice amount of personality that doesn't look juvenile/flimsy.
I always used cheap paint until we started redecorating our house and was shocked at what a difference there is between the various price points. And yes, smaller companies are such a great resource for lighting and decor items! I love how unique the items generally are.
