Out with the red...in with the green


So, the kitchen project is pretty much complete (minus a few details like persuading the husband to get new countertops..oh yeah and the curtains). As with most projects, this has provoked a whole revolution of change. Of course it couldn't just be concentrated to the kitchen because our house is an open-concept. Now I must change the decor in my living room, computer room to match...and the snowball continues. (my husband just loves this part...NOT)

But, I understand that my burgundy sheers in the living room might just have to wait considering we are on a single income and the economy just sucks right now. So, if you come to visit, deal with the obnoxious clashing going on right now until I can score a deal on new curtains. I wish that I could sew because curtains are EXPENSIVE. Call me cheap, but I refuse to pay a lot for some fabric that hangs on my window who's only purpose is decoration!! :)

Anyway enough with my rant on curtains. Now to the kitchen. Here's a before in case you forgot...









To the exciting part:




Yay for mirrors from Ikea $2.99
My favorite part is above the cabinets!!



(the painting here looks like it's hung too high, but I took this picture standing on a ladder...when you are at a normal level, it's perfect.)

  3. Love that green! It's so refreshing. That red was pretty too but I can certainly understand wanting a change. What's the name of the green paint you used?
