i found these old swiss cross paper lanterns at the flea yesterday.
i love them and can't find them anywhere else on the internets.
available HERE
also, i spent part of my weekend painting walls at my new place. they were a shade of pale yellow which was not going to work for me. the living room walls are now a white called "swiss coffee". the kitchen will be the same. i had some old semi-gloss paint kicking around in an almost black for the kitchen cabinets (a little added browny-grey to be true black) and in the next couple days when i find the time i'll finish painting in the kitchen. then i'll take a few pictures for you.

Swiss coffee is my favorite shade of white...I bet it looks amazing. And these cross lanterns?! What a find...so cool.
These are sometimes seen during Swiss National Day! http://www.thecordial.com/events/03fendant/
They are gorgeous. Amazing how the simplicity of the cross and the white against the red elevates it from the often garish Eastern ones found in red and gold . . .
I love the sound of your kitchen! Sounds similar to our home, no wonder I like your work so much!
Love Swiss coffee. Great white. Can't wait for the pictures.
