Colors!!

We are coming up on a month since we have been back in the house. I still look around and think wow! We have some bright colors in our life now, and I am just loving it.

Some may think, "wow, bright colors" but they look so great. With each thing we put back in place it amazes me. Sam re-hung the valance we had in the kitchen, and wow, it looks even better.
It is amazing too that little changes can make such a difference. When I was still living with my mother and painted her kitchen I suggested swapping out the old outlets and switches, but no...she wanted nothing to do with that.

Well, we did and even that made a big difference. Maybe, just maybe my mother may trust my judgement on something.

We bought new curtain rods for the living room and they just play so well off the wall sconce that Sam got me for my birthday a couple of years ago.



Not only am I blessed with a wonderful loving husband, but my husband is an artist with the most amazing eye for detail, and what would or would not look good.










The wall colors look so wonderful with his paintings that grace our walls.

I even keep looking at the fireplace. Our woodwork/trim before was painted a kind of seafoam green color. Now it is a biscuit color and boy does it make the mantel look great, it even shows off the stones of the fireplace better, it revives them. We have a cathedral ceiling and there is a wall that devides our living room and kitchen. We have books lined on this wall, and it looks great...even better with the biscuit trim.

You just don't know how much better something can look until you change it.
Now, I am all for "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Well, we were broke and now we are fixed! Living in a home now filled with color!
