Haha, you and me both. It was awful to cook. We did the kitchen stuff in 2010, so I did that for 5 years! Much easier now.

@mrswindycity, I had it color matched to the curtain I had up before I had bought the white one (I think), but I work a block away from this house so I can go over and see if I have the can in that garage still after work.

That would be awesome. It's funny because I was thinking of painting our small master bath a light aqua with white shower curtain/vanity/etc and was google image searching this morning. And now, poof, i see one here.

I haven't forgotten you! We had a tenant change and I cleaned the garage and found the can. I can't pip it from my phone so I will upload it and post it in a bit!

I went over once to find it and there was stuff. EVERYWHERE. We're now battling a mouse and cockroach problem and I'm to the point where I'll send an invoice to the previous tenants for the treatment because it's NOT a new issue. In any case, we finally got to where these were stored, so this is the code!
