Delicious!


I just had to try out my new paint in the kitchen. It is Glidden's Watermelon Smoothie and I love it!

I think I will paint the frame on the watermelon art white? I may do a color wash to make it look more like driftwood? I may look for an entirely different frame that is more modern?

I asked the girl in the paint department at Home Depot if she had ever seen a pink kitchen? She said, "No, but I think it's going to be beautiful!"  Me too.  :D

While I was at Home Depot I got my rod cut to size for the living room. Now I just need to spray paint it and get it up.

I'm still trying to decide what to do to freshen up the white sheets I'm planning to use for my drapes. I found a great tutorial at Floridays Mom for making no sew drapes. I love the chevron fabric she chose!


I really don't want to invest in a lot more fabric. I think I will just trim my sheets with either ribbon or an inexpensive fabric? Like these found at Houzz.com.


I've got one hour left this morning to get something done before I have to go to work. Think I will take the seats off my dining room chairs so I can paint them later...

Hope you have a great day!

I Wasn't Planning to Paint the Kitchen...

When you paint one room it makes all of the other rooms look like they need to be painted too! I have a really ugly kitchen. It looks like this. 


Yes it is always messy like this and cluttered with projects I'm working on...


The watermelon art was done by a friend in Florida. I've always like it and now it has inspired me to paint another room!

There is only one ceiling light in the kitchen with a 60 watt bulb. Very ugly and very dark. I think I will lighten up a bit!


This is Glidden's Watermelon Smoothie. Even the name sounds yummy!  I still need to finish the living and dining rooms first but I think I will buy a tester of this color and try it out in the kitchen. :D

I finished painting the dining room yesterday. It looks much better now. Next project will be painting the table and chairs. That is if I don't get distracted by another project!

Hope you have a beautiful day!
