Down But Not Out

So, despite my self-inflicted exile, I decided to take care of a few things before next week.  One of those was the kitchen backsplash.  You all know my affinity for paint and before you start judging me, this WAS a plan from the very moment we "finished" the kitchen.  When I originally planned the kitchen colors, I based them off a fabric that was Robin's Egg Blue.  With that in mind, I painted the backsplash wainscoting that color.  After finishing, I realized the curtains looked, well, bad.  So, back to the red toile, which is really me anyway.  I won't bore you with the angst I suffered over what color to actually go with, Mother Nature?  Skipper Blue?  Raspberry Truffle?  In the end, Bolero won out -- I had a quart unopened already.  So- here it is!  A Bolero red kitchen.  I swear, no more painting.  Well, for at least a couple of years, year, months, month, weeks, week, we'll see.

  1. that is a brillant idea to do the back splash with the wainscotting (spelling?). Looks great. And I love your china tea pot. I collect tea cups. Looks great. You have a wonderful eye.
