We recently painted our kitchen. Color is not my friend, and neither is decision making for that matter (I have the paint samples still in the hall to prove it.). Combine the two, and I’m lucky to still be married. Remind me sometime to tell you about the time I didn’t like the color the morning after we had painted TWO rooms with it. Well, I chickened out on going all out with color in our living room/dining room combination and am somewhat regretting it, but we DID go with color in the kitchen, and I love it! It’s a burnt orange that is gorgeous and so warm!
Here is the before….
Here is the after…
What a difference, huh? This drastic change with just a little bit of color. I just LOVE the warmth and romatic feel of this room now!
About Extraordinary in the Ordinary
I am a professional photographer who lives and works from her heart. My goal is always and in everything to be better today than I was yesterday. I’m an ordinary person dealing with what I like to believe are ordinary issues, but in all the ordinary days, I want to live an extraordinary life.
I am the mom to two grown sons, and there has been nothing I have loved more than being their mom and being home with them. And while you are always a mom, there is a certain part of that time in my life that is over now that they are grown. I miss hearing them play and having them with me all the time and having all their friends over, but it is time to move to the next stage of life or at least trying to figure out what that is.
I am making a list of personal goals, connecting with friends, and still nesting even though the children are grown. I think I will always be a "nester". Home is where the heart is. I love home and love making it a healing place of peace and comfort.
