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.
...here goes nothing.......

You have one of those big fluffy seat like Lori. They look so comfy. Maybe I should take a picture of my Living Room Wall and let you help me pick out a color. It desperately needs to be painted. I said once the pool is closed I'm going to start painting the house. I can't believe the pool will be closed in two weeks. BTW your kitchen is beautiful and good luck with the painting.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is beautiful! Looking forward to the reveal :)
ReplyDeleteplease come paint my house. We cannot decide on a color that we agree on so we leave everything as it is...crazy! Love your kitchen!!
ReplyDeleteI love to paint! I have paint samples taped to three walls in my house right now to see if I really like them.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is amazing and I love the counter tops. I have been looking at doing concrete, but now I may have to borrow your idea.
Have fun painting and I can't wait to see it all done.
omg i love your home, it's beautiful camilla. it's so warm and welcoming, i think it would be that way whatever color you paint. have fun making the magic this weekend sweetie!
ReplyDeleteYou have a very pretty kitchen. The yellow is definitely "blah". I can't wait to see what you choose to make it pop! I see so many possibilities!
ReplyDeleteGood luck and have fun!
ReplyDeleteI love your picture with the horses :)
Well, it must be in the air. We've been painting and painting. All DARK colors. I absolutely love it. I can hardly wait to see what you choose. It feels really good that you are back. I am one of your groupies, I think. Pretty funny, huh?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love how you tell stories with your pics. Last week they were so evocative, so full of life, even though no one was there, except you of course.
