I've been so busy , busy painting my whole kitchen and hallway too !
For MANY years .....It WAS all whites and beige { shabby chic } , and it was dirty and a MESS !
I needed COLOR . I NEEDED a big change .
I decided on a color called Botanical Green { Behr paint } and a Martha Stewart pink color { made into Behr paint }
The above photo is over the kitchen table . That's a really big old mirror that makes the kitchen look bigger . I put a shelf under it .
so the table is here ..... but we don't really use it . It belongs to the cats . How did THAT happen ?
There's two old wicker laundry baskets there , that's where you'll usually find Buddy and Baby Em .
To the left of the mirror I placed my RAT boy . I painted him on wood and cut him out on my saw .
Above him is my Breakfast painting of Wanda the Waitress .... with her menu and flying fried egg .
I love my rat boy .
On the other side of the big old mirror is my painting of Adele . It's a Budgie birthday party painting .
This is something I put together years ago .... an old greeting card , fabric background , buttons on the frame .
This is above my pie safe cabinet .
just the top of it ..... I really wanted you to see the peacock feathers and Jesus !
This is the sink area . That is my garden window over the sink . I LOVE the garden window .
I made the valance from vintage hankies , and the other part is a very old sheer bureau scarf { it has embroidered flowers on it }
This is the the other part of the kitchen , my two room kitchen . The frig , oven and microwave are in here , and the back door .
see that small bookcase ? The top part is from an old rocking chair . to the right of that book case is the hallway to the bathroom .
I found this rug on sale at Marshall's for twenty dollars .
and my new Rachel Ray tea kettle . yeah ..... I went with COLORS !!!!!
It was so hard to take photos . The colors aren't quite true in these photos .
but I love these colors ..... the colors are bold but soft . Who knew with all this color that it could be so restful !
This was a much needed big change . It has lifted my spirit . and I thank the Lord BECAUSE ..... it REALLY was God that helped me to do this . HE knew I needed to do this .
God is so good
so paint a room , add some pussy willows and peacock feathers..... some colors , do some cleaning .....
it will make you happy
Paint a room !!!!!! it will lift you up !
thanks for visiting and taking this little tour .
I'll be back again soon
I have more kitchen type of things to tell you about !
