Niki's Beautiful New Kitchen...
I left the house again today. It's amazing how social I've been lately. This has to be a record. I went to see my friend Niki's lovely Kitchen remodel and then we had lunch at the church with lots of friends.
As usual, my pictures don't show quite how lovely this kitchen really is. Niki if you read this, let us know what color that green paint is.
I understand that Niki's dad was both the general contractor and the entire labor force and that he did all this so fast while keeping her kitchen in good order for daily use. We won't see anyone top that again soon.
Ofcourse, I love painted wood and I love white, which always makes a clean slate. And, this kitchen is perfectly situated with large southern exposures, so it was just really beautiful in the middle of the day. I think the white cabinets put all that pretty light to better use.
My dad was saying to me that if you make just your own little corner of the world a more beautiful place, it lifts everyone. This is definitely one of Niki's talents, she makes everything more lovely and everyone she knows happier.
Bluebird Valentine...
Oriental trading sells these little bluebird beads and I love to tie them on to packages. They are so cute! See them here, or you can click on the picture to see a larger view of this one.
Mod Bod... How to dress Utah...
If you are planning a trip to Utah in the near future, this is what you need to have. Mod Bods are everywhere. This is the accessory needed to cover the little unmentionables left uncovered by low riding rises and such. You can also wear plunging necklines with ease because Mod Bod will make sure that you don't have a wardrobe malfunction. I have not yet become part of this trend, because through very selective shopping I have been able to avoid the low rises and the plunges as well, but now that they added some cute lace to the bottom....
This is a pretty cute little Valentine...
Hand Painted Love Boxes...
I did this pattern last year for Valentine's Day. This is the only one I made in these colors and I kinda liked how it turned out. Read about it here.
