I am extremely excited about my new kitchen wall makeover. I can’t remember what put first put the idea in my head but earlier this year I got bit by the painting bug again. It might also help that every advertising banner I see online right now seems to be for paint.

I’m not sure I even know how many baby pants samples I’ve cranked out in the last couple weeks. Spurred on by recent (and not-so-recent) comments asking for a pattern, I’ve been gettin’ busy.
