My grandpa was an incredible artist, always making art for various clients and even a few museums. When I was a little boy, I loved watching Blue's Clues and following Joe and Blue on their adventures. For one of my birthdays, my grandpa surprised me in the best way by sending me a painting of Joe, Blue, and me standing together in front of Joe's iconic house. It's a gift that I'll treasure for as long as I live.

It's those small yet beautiful acts of kindness that can have a profound effect on others. The world needs more of this, and the other day I saw one TikTok that was the ultimate embodiment of kindness. I couldn't stop smiling.

TikTok DIY superstar Julia McGahee (@juliamcgaheeart) shows a home some true love by painting the most gorgeous flower mural. She uses a combination of bright paint colors to create a flower mural that completely revives the house's exterior and improves its curb appeal.

What really helped was the house's exterior already being painted a neutral blue, which allowed the flower mural to really stand out. The red, green, yellow, pink, and white paint pop out like a beautiful blooming flower against the wall.

Now, the house looks like something out of a Disney or Pixar movie. It is a breath of fresh air in a world where most house exteriors look the same. Julia knew that she needed to change, and she put her amazing artistic skills to the best of use.

In her caption, Julia exclaims, "Had so much fun bringing this garden to life on their exterior walls and now it stands out on their street!"

One commenter was overjoyed and said, "I love that we are in this era of realizing we can do what we want. What a great use of free will. I love it so much!!"

Another commented, "Yes! Stop living in a house worrying about what the next buyer will think. LIVE in YOUR home."

It's clear that Julia's breathtaking art left a big impact on a lot of people, and I think more people should follow her example.
