But they are not. These fish are painted!It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what really matters to you.

Painted with chalkboard paint and stenciled with the sentence “Before I die I want to _______”, the wall is an enlightening way to get to know your neighbors and discover

her.
