A couple of months later, I decided to do the whole kitchen with my little flower border. I cut out some more pieces and went to work. First I re-painted the whole kitchen white. Then I started to decorate it.
I used that little row of ivy leaves that I'd cut off the ivy border up above the cupboards and on the stove hood.
I mixed 2 of my acrylic paints and made them match the color in the border, and then painted my door handles and drawer knobs with it. I think it came out really cool!
The last picture is of my MIL. I made her this knitted cabled aphgan for Christmas that year.
