Ellise, was that one of those overlay stencils, you know layers upon layers? I bought an ivy one for my bathroom. Whaty kind of paint are you and Mel using. You are making me brave...uh oh, last time this happened, my bathroom turned into a hydrangea room!!!

Calico,
I am going to write either Buon Appetito (enjoy the meal)or
Mi Piace la Pasta (I like pasta) or Mi Piace la Vino (I like wine)

On other cabinets I am thinking of writing:
Alimito. or Cibo (food)
Mangiave, Bevanda, & Allegro (eat, drink, & be merry)

Thank you so much Homesteadmomma and Carolyn.
At firts I thought it to be too much but after looking at it everyday I really like it.

Robin, It is actually just a cheapy stencil from Wal-Mart. I use the Folk Art and Apple Barrel paints. I'm too cheap to pay good money for the others and I get the same effect.

I've learned (the hard way) to just take my time while doing it. Even if it takes me 1/2 an hour to do just one.
