Kitchen Furniture

I bet you already knew that my kitchen wouldn't stay all-white for long, Right? Ha! My kitchen has gone through quite a few makeovers over the years. Just see for yourself: The last time I shared my kitchen, which is the top picture on the left, is when I had just painted the walls white. I painted the walls white because after looking at my Pinterest Kitchen Board one day, I noticed that almost all of my pins were of  all-white kitchens, and so I figured if I was so inspired by white kitchens then I needed an all white kitchen too. I liked my kitchen all white, at least for a while, but then I was starting to crave color again :)  So I decided to paint just the lower cabinets, and actually, I had a few different reasons for wanting to paint my cabinets;  1. white cabinets get super dirty, at least at my house, and I was getting tired of constantly wiping  them down. I knew that painting them a darker color would camouflage the dirt better.  2. My decorating s...

As I'm cleaning up my picture files today (which I'm trying to get into the habit of doing at the end of each month) I realized that there's quite a bit of things that I didn't get around to posting about. And truthfully, this is the case at the end of every month. So many projects remain unshared for one reason or another. And So I have decided to create a new series that I'm calling, End of the month randomness. Here I will share some behind the scenes, project fails, and some of my life moments. Let's get started! So you saw my porch right after I painted my front door, Right? But what I failed to share with you are those two black pots on the porch stoops. Before they were green and looked like this: Not bad, but they didn't go so well with the new door color and so I spray painted them in a flat black paint. But because they were already potted and I wasn't about to pull my plants out, I came up with this idea to cover the plants with grocery sack...

Did you catch my post on Monday?  If not, head HERE first to make your guess on which color you think I painted our front door and then come back over to see if you are right! So what color do you think I picked? Like I said, they are all great color choices. I actually liked All of them myself.  Perhaps I will be painting our door again in the future. But for now, I'm loving our new door color, and that color is................ Color Pick #1 OBSIDIAN  Using the Olympic paint color visualizer really just gives you an idea of a color. The color in person is always a bit different than how it looks on screen.  This color actually has more blue in it than how it appears on the Olympic website. This color is also brighter in the daylight. I painted the backside of the door as well, and from the inside of our home the color looks much darker. Anyway, color can be a bit tricky, so to give you a good idea about this color, I took these pictures on an overcast day and then ...

You guys I just painted our front door again!!!! You may have already heard that I was going to paint it if you follow me on Faceboo k and/or Instagram .  I even got a few NOOOO's which made me smile. My door color was pretty popular before and probably my most asked blog question has always been, "What color is your front door?" But if you haven't figured it out by now, I Love Change! I do! The color was great before, and the color is great now, and I'm sure the next color I paint it will also be great. ;) There's just so many great color options out there to just live with one forever. Okay, so today's post is a fun one!!!  I had So much fun putting it together. I headed over to Lowes.com/Olympic , uploaded my picture, and used the paint color visualizer to try out 11 different Olympic paint colors on our front door. Olympic paint is my favorite paint by the way.  I think that ALL of the colors I chose would be great options for our door, but of course o...
