Happy New Year to you! 🙂 I’m happy that we’re painting the whole house white, so I can inject splashes of colour (like this one!) and have the ability to change it up easy when I’m sick of it!
Wonderful Rosa! White is just so fresh and clean – such a nice way to incorporate the “trends” in colour!!! Too bad I missed you at Angela’s Christmas party – it’s always nice to meet people in person!
