The cabinets painted <a href="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/vanalengreen">Benjamin Moore HC-120 <span style="font-style: italic;">Van Alen Green</span></a> are just so, so pretty.

I couldn't be more excited to meet and learn from all of the talented people attending and speaking...it's going to be such a great experience! (Plus I hear they don't have snow in LA!) I won't be back until Wednesday night, but hopefully I'll find some time to sneak in some posts while away! Have a great weekend guys!<br /></div></div>

After seeing it on my blog, Jill went out and purchased two of the them for her new nursery to use as window coverings. Aren't they something else with the light shining through?! *sigh* They look fabulous next to the walls (Colorwheel 2104M Swandive) and the <a href="http://gan.doubleclick.net/gan_click?lid=41000000034965395&pubid=21000000000185825" target="_blank">tier cascade chandelier</a>.
