Haven't posted in a while.  Guess it's time to get back to it.  Let's start back with a couch that I really, really want to be in my house.  It's been like 10 years since we bought our last couch and with dogs and kids the couch must be 20 years old in couch years.  It's so time for a new one.  Here's what I have my eye on...

Yay!  I finally finished the paint the kitchen cabinets white project.  Actually they are an off white but white just the same.  I used Annie Sloan's chalk paint in Old White.  I think I achieved what I was going for, which is fresh, modern, and bright.  Take a look at the before and after photos...

I just ran across some pictures of colored Christmas lights.  I can't even begin to tell you how happy they make me.
