The moment you've all been waiting for.....

Finally the kitchen reveal. I love to decorate. It's a passion. I stay at home a lot because it's hard to take Casen anywhere these days. So I sit at home thinking up all these ideas and wanting to change things. When I do get some time to myself for shopping or something, It's not a lot of time and I usually need to go get groceries, so theres just not a lot of time to get out and shop for decor and fabrics. So I spend some time during the day on the computer looking at inspiring design blog and get lots of fun ideas. I try and rearrange but sometimes I need more. So I've been wanting to redo my window treatments, but like I said, don't have the time and the money not to mention, so I take my 5 year old plain cream IKEA panels from the guest room and cut them up to the size of each window, then I cut out a design in a stencil and use some green sample wall paint from Lowe's, add a little water to the paint, and stencil a pattern on the fabric. I'm really liking how they turned out. I was going to have my mom paint me a design on the fabric, since shes a very talented artist, but changed my mind and went with the stencil. I will have her do some other paintings for my house sometime. I love that I didn't have to go anywhere or spend any money for new window treatments. Even better that I love the way they turned out.

What I need advice about is what color to paint the island. I want it a different color, but not sure what color. I was thinking either a brownish with a hint of grey, or green. What do you think? ... You friends that are designers, I'm really hoping you leave a comment too!!! wink wink!

I almost wrote on my last post that, No, I will not paint your cabinets. It's was enough work to do one kitchen!! Except for you mom, I will help you. :)
