That's More Like It

On Monday I showed you this and this
After four days, it's done. Remember when I painted my kitchen lime green? Well I just loved it with all my blue and white china, but when I looked into the kitchen from our red dining room or the TV room which also has a lot of red , it really bothered me. So, I knew the green had to go.

Here's the new color combination in the kitchen. I gathered up all the red and some of the yellow things I had and mixed them with my favorite blue and white china.

I painted the walls the same yellow which I have in other parts of our home. This little print I had is perfect.
I painted the hutch the same red as the dining room walls. When I hung those plates on my dining room wall last week and saw how good they looked against the red, I knew this would be a great look.

This fun Mary Engelbreit rug came out of a guest bedroom. It was a great find about 5 years ago. It's about 4 feet square and I got it on sale for only $15.
I removed the doors from the cabinet above the stove and filled it with more things. I still have to paint the inside of that today. The space above the cabinets will have blue and white plates again but I need to find a couple of red and white ones to add a little variety, so they're not up yet.

Picking up the red and white with some accessories on the counters.
A friend of mine painted those little people. They are salt and peppers
I thought this picture looked good on the counter too.
The little salt and peppers I found last week fit in perfectly.

The blue glass is still in the window. It is actually cobalt blue, not aqua like it looks in the photo, so it is a perfect color with the red and yellow. I'll replace a couple of the plates with red and white when I find them.
Looking from the kitchen into the dining room. It pleases my eye so much better than when it was green.
Looking from the kitchen into the TV room. So much better.
Looking from the dining room into the kitchen and beyond into my studio. Everything flows together nicely. If you click on this photo it will enlarge and you can see something new I am doing in my studio.
I am so happy with how it all turned out and all it cost me was 2 gallons of paint. The room still need some more tweaking, but I love how it's turned out so far.

Hope you have a great weekend.
