My parents are here visiting for a few days before my mom and I shuffle off to Europe and leave the boys behind.   Since they drove out, they decided to deliver the last remnants of my stuff that’s been stored in their house.  It’s stuff I haven’t thought about for years.  They brought my childhood dollhouse (it’s actually a puppenhaus, because it’s German) and the furniture. I took some time to dig through it this morning and I actually thought, well, this explains a lot! I loved the hand-painted furniture, the style, and the colors as an 8-year-old and I can see how much this German dollhouse furniture informed my decorating and the things I’m drawn to.   You can see how even the color palette influenced some of the signature colors in the MMS Milk Paint line… And, there’s more! This was my kitchen hutch… …filled with copper pots,
