um, I'm in love.

sadly, I am not referring to jonathan (though I am also in love with him), but I think he'll forgive me.

Cause . . . hello gorgeous!

I'm thinking above the plate rail for the dining room? Maybe a cream on grey-cream, over solid red? Thoughts?

(keep in mind, I am doing this all in denial of the lack of a kitchen, and also because oooooh pretty....)

came over via the posts on flickr. even though kari told me you're a paint perfectionist so you could no doubt pull it off, i fear for your sanity if you attempt them! i'm getting a panic attack just thinking about it! but i would love to see the results....

Hello.

I found your blog while searching for a damask stencil. As you did, I fell in love with the stencil that you used for your walls. I ordered it from the same company you did. That was a month ago and I haven't herd from them.
I want to paint a wall with that stencil for my baby girls room, I wanted to do it before she arrives and her due date is coming up fast.
I know it's been 6 years since you posted this, but I'm hoping you still have that stencil and I can buy it from you.
