Eeek, I can't believe it took me this long to post about this. Last week we finally got to re-install our LFL that has been getting repainted by an artist friend of mine (Melanie Schumacher...a friend from my magazine days who is talented in so many ways!). 

The original button design did not survive the winter, hopefully just because we used the wrong kind of varnish and not because MN winters are that brutal. I am hoping this new design will last a few years because I really love how it turned out! 

We wanted a four season look...Mel did an amazing job! We will likely repaint the post in the spring, but we ran out of days where the temp was high enough to paint. The temporary locker has been put away for now, but it will be used again when needed. It worked great!
