Well, the kitchen didn't go as planned. That's fine. Here is what we've done so far.
I'm disappointed with the pictures. Only because you can't really see the color that well. We chose a pale green. It's Behr color Valley Mist 460E-2. I panicked when I first saw the color in the store. I thought it was too gray. But then Bear put it up on the wall and OH MY. It's really pretty. For those that know me well enough to come to the house, I think you'd agree too when you see it.
Bear, his Brother and his Buddy did SO MUCH work getting this painting done. I can't stop tanking them enough. I appreciate all the work they have done. I've told them all this and probably will continue to do so for a long time.
The wall featured in the photo is the wall that we want to cut the "window" in and have a counter.
This is another view. You can see the color a little bit more. This is the back door that leads to the deck, the other door leads into the dining room
This photo here is of the cabinets, stove and our new microwave. I thought about it for a quick second about painting the cabinets white. It's an idea, but I'm not really sure about it. I'll take opinions from anyone offering.
Excuse the clutter. Some of the items there is because we were in the process of putting things back now that the room is painted. The cabinets are good cabinets, good wood too. The ugly brick you see at the top of the picture, well that is going. I don't know when, but it's going. I hate it. I mean I REALLY REALLY HATE IT. It actually caused a mini-argument between Bear and I the other day. But back to the question at hand. To paint or not to paint.
I had the thought that white cabinets may look nice. I have this vision of new doors, with glass on them. I really like that open view and I think because all our appliances (except for afew smaller ones) are white that the cabinets being white may be too much. I'm not really sure. Whatever I decide however, can't be accomplished for some time. *shrug*
Here is a photo of our newest bed. Bear just cut this one so there is lots of work planting wise to be done, but it's beautiful don't you think?
This bed is on the western side of our house. It's the side that you access our entrance and the deck. Which is why we have the solar lights lining the brick light up the path that Bear is preparing from the back to the driveway.
It then curves like this to the backyard. Excuse the mess.
We plan on planting ornamental grasses here (where the bike is). We have a climbing rose and a new hydrangea planting on the side along with some tiger lillies.
My Bear rocks. We're having a BBQ this coming weekend. If I make anything clever, I'll post a new recipe.
