This past weekend, my husband and I completed our first "home improvement" project in our new home. The task: the kitchen. The previous owners of our beautiful home loved the color sea green. So do I. But not as much as they did. And since the kitchen and dining room are connected, you can have a double-dose anytime you want to cook anything.

Two trips to Home Depot later, Jon & I were the proud owners of Rust-o-leum Chalkboard paint and have a beautiful wall that can be a piece of artwork any day of the week. We plan on doing a seasonal theme and change the background accordingly. Not too bad for our first rodeo...

The finished product! |

My signature ladybug checks out my smaller chalkboard |

Vines and roses adorn my wine rack |

This quote from Erma Bombeck seemed perfect: "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I hope I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me.'" |
