Kitchen Update
I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come, but alas I fear it could be. I’m going to come right out and say it. I’ve inadvertently used sky blue instead of white to paint the kitchen. After the first coat I said “wow, this white is so bright it looks almost blue.” That is because it was blue.
I ask you though, does this look blue to you:
No, exactly it looks white. Furthermore the label on the tin says “branco ceu”. How was I to know the small three letter word was so crucial?
It’s halloween on Monday but we’ll be in Lisbon and therefore I won’t be able to carve a beautiful pumpkin. Next year I’m going to try and make a super classy one just like this one from Martha Stewart.
If you have made a halloween pumpkin this year, I’d love to see it! I’m sure you will have taken a photo of your creation and if so, please attach it in the comments!
