Your kitchen photos are beautiful, especially since I have painting cabinets on the brain - and your kids' dough ornaments bring back such sweet memories. By the way, do you realize how glamorous it sounds to say "we are off to meet friends in Rio"?Hill Country House Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15669069876394459689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543555066564238991.post-50568284442718647422009-11-23T10:40:55.606-08:002009-11-23T10:40:55.606-08:00Alison- I am so so behind on my blog reading &...Alison- I am so so behind on my blog reading & missed your big news!!!

And then, if you don't like the result, you can just paint it completely gold. :)Mallienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543555066564238991.post-21339874356553110422009-11-19T13:50:52.283-08:002009-11-19T13:50:52.283-08:00Keep it coming, its ok to say whatever you want on...Keep it coming, its ok to say whatever you want on here- this is your blog afterall. 1.
