A Fresh Coat

I participated in Apartment Therapy’s cure during the month of January. One of the projects I worked on was the cupboards above our washer & dryer. It is a narrow, dark area and one of the first things you encounter as you enter our house. I painted the cupboards white inside and out, took the cupboard doors off and gave the walls a fresh coat while I was at it. What a difference!  I used Benjamin Moore ‘Super White’.  I rolled it on with a foam roller and used Floetrol which helps prevent brush and roller marks. A Fresh Coat

 

Greek Rainbow Salad

I love flavorful food and this time of year its hard to find good  fresh veggies.  This salad is so flavorful and even the leftovers are good!  It requires a bit of chopping but is so worth it. I had a very hard time finding Greek salad dressing in Nebraska this summer when I was craving this salad, but found a great recipe for making the dressing at home.
