Spring Break

This break has been rather interesting. I usually look forward to this break as a time when I can break out my shorts and t-shirts and enjoy the new sun and fresh air. However, this break brought a completely opposite occurrence - SNOW. It snowed not just one day but two. I couldn't believe my eyes on Wednesday when driving home the thick rain turned to white flakes. As I continued to drive, the snow only became more intense and it continued through the evening. By the end we had almost two inches of snow at our house which lasted through the next morning. Once again, to my dismay, we had snow on Friday. This time however the snow was wet and slushy. It stuck just slightly to the grass but never to the roads.

Although the snowfall kept me from breaking out the shorts and t-shirts, it didn't keep from redecorating the kitchen. In fact it only encouraged me to stay warm in my cozy house and paint all day Wednesday and Thursday (with the exception of a few Home Depot trips). The redecorating started a few weeks ago when my dad came and installed new marble tile counter tops in the kitchen and bathrooms. We then decided that we wanted to repaint the kitchen and try out a suede technique by Ralph Lauren. Now that the project is finished, I have a few pictures of the redecorating process to share with you.
