My Kitchen...

We have lived in our home for almost 8 years.  We bought it when we got married and over the years have done a bit here and there to fix it up.  The homes in my neighborhood are small yet charming.  People take pride in fixing them up inside and out and the tree lined streets are charmed with cute street lamps.  My home was built in the 1940's.  My kitchen is a very small room with aluminum white cabinets and white counter tops.  

For the last 6 years my walls have been this barn red.   But last week an idea popped in my head to paint it Aqua.  I thought all my red accessories would look so cute with it.  So I seized the moment and my wonderful Dad came up and helped me crank it out in one morning!  

I'm so bummed I didn't take before pictures but it was late and dark when I had remembered.  

So I found a few pictures in my archives so you can get the idea.  I love Before and Afters!

Before:

This photo below is freaky looking of me because Cole took the picture and clearly didn't hold still.  So forget me, look at the walls.  

And After:

So crisp, clean, and new!  I LOVE IT!!!  It is so fun how much paint can change a room!  Now I want to touch up paint all the cupboards a fresh white!

Don't you just love how many photos I uploaded for my tiny little kitchen?  

I just can't wait to accessorize it a bit more!  I need to make a trip to my favorite store, Jolleys! 

Every time I walk pass the mirror above the sink and see me in my new kitchen I get so excited!  The color makes me just feel cute! 

 What do you think?  Is it too trendy?  Or a good change? 

Thanks Dad for your help!  It was great to have a man around to help me fix a few things!

P.S. The paint color is from Lowe's.  Martha Stewart Collection: Vintage Map
