La Cuisine C’est Pret: un Photoblog
Our kitchen is done, and as promised, here’s the evidence.
Accent Strip
A friend gently hinted I’d gone a bit overboard on Facebook and Instagram with kitchen photos, to which I responded, “Well, if you can’t have fun with social media, what’s it even for? Oh, right … handing your personal information over to faceless corporations to use in targeted advertising.”
