i'm taking a break from painting. yes, after living here two years, we've finally started painting the walls. we are such slackers. but yesterday was a mighty productive day! we painted the bathroom a lovely buttery yellow. it looks like the color of the apple butter drizzle that comes on top of the blondie at applebee's. mmmm.... our favorite ( Read more... )
