Inspiration Rooms

I'm really liking the idea of painting my cabinets...they are currently the color of that table shown in the picture. I have a paint sample sitting in my windowsill just waiting for me. I don't like the rustic chandelier ...a bit too rough for my taste. {this and the one underneath are both Country Home}
This is a continuation of the first picture. I like to take bits and pieces from pictures I like and take that creativity into my home.

Oh, how I love the green on these walls, very earthy, spring-time. I am wanting to paint my den and we have the paint here...but it's not this green. It's Eddie Bauer Valspar...Bungalow Gold. I'll look for a sample pic. using the Bung. Gold to show you. Did I say that I love this room? I do.


Again, painted wood. I love this look, as far as the color ...a little jail-like to me. Organization is right on target. {the last two pics. I have forgotten where they came from}

Hi Katy, I'm redoing a house, too. I just painted my brown cabinets in the bathroom and some bedroom built-ins black. LOVE them now!

OK - we could be roomies. I love exactly the same style. I want to paint my kitchen cabinets (they are also a dark brown) but it seems like such a daunting task. Are you sanding them? I need specifics!

Looove the kitchen and dining room!! I would love to have kitchen cabinets with glass doors...but I'm not sure I could keep it looking pretty and organized all of the time!

Hope the kiddos are all feeling better!

Love your inspiration rooms! That green is the exact color I want to do in our bedroom! Just one wall though with pops of the same color in accessories. Do you know the name of the color?

Mmmm. Love re-dos, but you know that. :o)

exquisite! We have exactly the same taste. Guess living with you for a semester in Pesagi rubbed off on me. :)

Katy,

I love the inspiration pictures.

Just wanted you to know that we painted several rooms in our old house Bungalow Gold. We loved it. I can send you pics of those rooms if you want. As a matter of fact we used several of the Eddie Bauer colors to paint the entire house. They are great earth tone colors.

You're making me want to buy a new house and paint it. And buy new furnishings. Yeah, I could re-paint the one I got, but I am not mentally capable of painting unless the room is totally empty.

I love the green. It makes me want to take a bite of a Granny Smith Apple.

I found a house up the street for sale with a swimming pool. I kinda want it. It's a 4BR, too, but it has fugly kitchen cabs and wallpaper in the kitchen and bathrooms. I don't think I'm mentally capable for all of that. I really don't.

How do you find the gumption?

I can't wait to see the outcome and I'm sorry for writing a whole book.

Babes.
