Yay! I turned 36 last week. It was lovely.
Tony and the kids made me a pink cake with sprinkles! (I'm guessing Cozy was a part of that decision-making process.)
I gave myself a present too...one I've been wanting for quite some time...a new color in the kitchen.
Can you see the glare off of the high-gloss yellow paint? Not pleasant. As much as I love yellow....
...it just needed to go. I did all of the painting myself. Tony was totally against it....so he just helped by watching the kids and cooking and stuff. That way we both won the fight. :)
Now the trim is glossier and brighter than the walls.
This is the most honest shot of the new color. Pistachio. (Technically Feldspar 410C-2, by Behr.) I used the combined paint and primer, but it still needed two coats.
Step two of my plan involves removing all of the red from the room...which is a little sad..but I'm just trying to tone the whole thing down a bit.
...and I'll finally be painting the buffet. Yes, I took the hardware off a year ago, planning to paint it. It will be so nice to be able to shut the drawer again, and not have to shimmy them open with two butter knives!
Can you guess what color?
I'll be sending you off with a birthday serenade, compliments of Phinneas and Ferb and my children. (I would have given you a link to the original, but the Disney channel is mean and has blocked them all. Something about a copyright....)
Can we look forward to a yellow buffet? :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a great birthday! I tried to text you. Maybe you got it?
Happy (belated!) birthday! I LOVE the pistachio color you chose. And I love that painting your kitchen yourself was your birthday gift! :-)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the color Lia! Its perfect and I do like it so much better than the yellow.
ReplyDeleteI love your family such a cute vidio thank you. hmmmm what color will you paint the buffet?? Yellows the only color I can think of also.
Well, Happy Day a little late! How did I miss that on Facebook? The new color is fabulous and I can't think of a better gift to give yourself! It would be hard for me to banish the red too...red and i have this love affair. I have all this wonderful vintage red glass that was my mother's, so I think red will always have a place in my kitchen. Can't wait to see the buffet!!! Our landlord here doesn't want us to paint and everything is WHITE, so I think I'm going to have to force myself to overcome my fear of my sewing machine so I can make some colorful curtains to add some character. I may need sewing advice in the future...IF my sewing machine ever arrives. :)
