Any one who knows me...knows that I am always in search of the perfect color. I love to design, decorate and dream up new and really " non important" things to do/add to the house- just because...well,
because I love it.
When we moved into our home it was pretty "vanilla " after living here for close to 7 years it has our stamp on it- The kitchen had the most awful blue laminate counters- the walls were painted your standard Navajo white and no back splash. Last year Pierre and I had the tile back splash put in and also the stainless steel counter tops put in- we love to cook and it gets messy- they the counters wipe off easily. I have had several colors on my kitchen wall- lime green (love lime) and currently it is mustard yellow...I don't like how it blends in with the wood trim and cabinets.
This weekend I am rolling up my sleeves and painting again- I found a beautiful paint swatch and had Neil (
I am on first name basis with the paint guys in town) match it - he doesn't even blink when I walk thru the doors any longer- he knows that I mean business.
The color I chose is very "unlike" me and I am a bit
scared. I am very influenced these days by Scandinavian design and am willing to take more risks after going home and seeing how beautiful they make their dwellings.
I will be back with the reveal next week.
