Before

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day for us. A trip to IHOP for free pancakes, stop at Lowes for the last few painting supplies, and then to the library. All with a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old in tow and all early enough to get home for lunch and naps. That makes you tired just reading it, doesn’t it?

So what do I do? I stay up past my bedtime reserving books at the library and posting a “before” picture of our kitchen. Smart.

I am starting to have anxiety over the red. Not the color itself, but the hue, or is the correct word shade? I never did like those art lessons. Whatever the case, I just want it to be the perfect red and I’m not sure if it is. I will probably dream in red tonight based on all the times I have walked past and studied the test patch on my wall.KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA

Here is my kitchen as of tonight, never to look the same again. Well, starting tomorrow at naptime. Right now I am going to be responsible and head to bed.

I am excited to see it. My only advice is to make sure you like it in EVERY light. My kitchen used to be red, a red that I LOVED later on in the day and evening, but was way too bright when that morning sun hit it. Oh, I miss the red and probably will even more when I see how great yours looks. Let me know if you need any help painting!

I remember going through the same thing! Red is a brave move, but if you get it right, you'll be glad you did it! Good luck!
