When we first bought our house, it was perfect for us, but it was "dated". And by "dated" i mean it looked like many of our parents houses, probably could use some decorating love and updates.
So, we began to peel more wallpaper than I ever want to admit to, hired a painter who FINALLY this past weekend got it all done, and I couldn't be more thrilled. I need to take before and after pictures to post together sometime bceause I think it has really changed since we first made the purchase.
It's "ours" and i'm extremely happy for that.
In the meantime, since I had chosen all of the other colors for the house, Joe suggested that we do a contrast color on the peak walls in the kitchen. I agreed, and we decided on a golden yellow.
After the painter left last weekend, I was very unsure about it.
Unsure to the point where, I was deciding whether i wanted to have it repainted a different more neutral color. I went shopping for some above-the-cabinet decorations and hung them all up there the minute I got home.
Slowly but surely it's growing on me. The decorations make it look better, but i'm still not 100% sold on it.
However, I'm exercising compromise and deciding that... if Joe likes the kitchen the color it is... then that's how it shall be!
Oh, and if someone else comments on how crazy it looks ...
... i can blame him :)
I want to see pictures!!! Last time I saw it, it was the BEAUTIFUL wallpaper! :) Can't wait to see!
