Oh Bee's Wax!

For Mother's Day I received a gift card and a note good for "labor" on a gardening project from my family.
I was pretty excited about building a container garden in the back yard.
The nice weather turned bad....our building project got under way (more on that later)....and I found out I would need to have surgery.
Huge damper.
I mentioned to my husband that maybe I would use the gift card for some paint for the kitchen and the small gathering area off the kitchen.
I planned on painting before I left for the hospital.
I had no energy.....it didn't happen.
It was all I could do to decide on the color.....Sherwin William's Bee's Wax.

While I was hanging out in the hospital for 4 1/2 days, my husband and family were painting my rooms!!!!
What a cheerful change.....so much fun to come home to!!!
The picture I just took doesn't show the true buttery yellow color, but believe me....it is lovely!


I have been on restrictions, so I haven't even had the opportunity to put the kitchen back in order yet.  It will be fun to do a little re-arranging when we return from our little mini vacation.  It has been a rough 2 weeks....now I am ready for a little fun!
