In the beginning...

In the beginning we had this lovely (ahem) white kitchen.

(Don't mind the mess... I am painting, afterall)

This is our back door and breakfast table to the right. Very, very, dull. And one of our most special places in the house because we share meals here daily.

This afternoon I started with my Antique Red paint.

At first, I had to take deep breaths.
I'm not so much afraid of color as...well...my skill in painting it.

But, 2 hours later we have this.
One completed wall, one wall where I decided to clean off my brushes,
and... one very satisfied momma.
I love this color!

But as it goes for most moms of little ones...

nap time has ended, and so must the painting. So, the kitchen will wait and we'll be back with more hopefully tomorrow.
