Luckily, when I decided to paint it a golden sand color, years later, it only took 2 coats to cover it up.<br /><br /><br />Falina - how wonderful to have a man who cooks for you&#33;&#33;&#33;  Hubby can&#39;t even make a sandwich&#33;&#33;&#33;  Actually, he probably could if he had to but I never give him the chance.  Back when I was pregnant with our first child, he decided to surprise me with breakfast in bed...it was so awful, I decided right then and there to never let him in the kitchen again.  When the kids were younger, something like 7 &amp; 8, I had a hysterectomy and when I came home from the hospital,  he was on &quot;kitchen duty&quot; for a few days.  I well remember the very day I came home - I was laying in bed and the boys came in together and said &quot;Mom, we know that you are sick and aren&#39;t supposed to get up, but dad is killing us with his cooking, so can you please make us something to eat?&quot;.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />Cheryl.... that&#39;s about the color of our front door at the moment - deep wine.<br /><br />Also I cannot believe that paragraph that you wrote to Falina - it is my story EXACTLY&#33;&#33;&#33;
