Okay, So this is it! I took on another project. Yesterday I bought a gallon of paint. Today I called my neighbor Allison and she came and helped me tape and paint it all. We had eight kids in the house at one point. (It was my babysitting co-op day and Allison brought two more to add to it.) We taped while I had the co-op kids, and when they left we ate lunch, put the little boys down for a nap and the paint came out.
The color is a little "out-there" but I'm loving it and its different. Jake still has yet to say anything. I picked it from a color card I found at Wal-Mart and it just grew on me. I couln't get it off my mind. It was paired with a cream and a yellow with chrome throughout the kitchen, suggesting a retro look, even though the card looked nothing of a retro picture. Well, my home has plenty of yellow in the kitchen, dining area, and living room.
As Alli and I finished the painting and started putting some of my stuff back in we really liked some of my red stuff with it. The colors don't completely coordinate but I couldn't say exactly why, but I thought it went together. You tell me.
It didn't make sense until I downloaded my pictures from my camera and saw this picture of Josh drinking a Sonic shake. The colors on the cup totally fit my new kitchen!
So. . . what do you think? Crazy, yes. Like it, maybe. Not for everyone, true. Do I like it. Yes, its me. Lets just hope Jake adjusts.

Debbie,
I think it is great. It looks happy and cheerful, which is what I need, especially when every moment of every day gets spent in the kitchen. I really like the dark brown sign against the blue. You realy can go any way you want...country, retro, the sky is the limit. Good job! Glad I could get you started!
I just realized where else I saw those colors... my blog background... hmmm interesting!! ;)
