bavarian cream

i painted. cupboards and one drawer stand. the drawer unit is what i have been stripping and sanding the past few weeks when it hasn't been raining. i checked with a few twitter peeps on paint color. sarah, at greenclogs, has been painting walls and helped me out. with a fall full of college visits, re-reading college essays, keeping track of college deadlines, well, you get it, i did not want another decision. i went with 'bavarian creme'; not white, not cream, but an in-between that will go with any new wall color down the road.

 so i tackled it yesterday and have a cleaner, cohesive look to the units in the kitchen. i did not take before shots. i guess because i don't like taking pictures of what i don't like, but one was light blue, the other green. what was i thinking?

the top photo is actually in the dining room, but also needed a face lift. today i spent my time on the phone and dealing with emails and paperwork that were slightly neglected. i'm catching up. the goal is to have things squared away before we head to north dakota. that includes all college applications submitted. she's almost there, and will be able to really focus on her games once it's done.

ok. it's time for late afternoon baking.

i've had gingerbread on my mind!
