A Blue Metamorphosis Monday

Today I'm joining in with Metamorphosis Monday hosted by Susan at Between Naps On a Porch and Blue Monday hosted by Sal at Smiling Sally

Our kitchen ceiling and island have just gone through a metamorphosis compliments of our insurance company. They overestimated the cost of deck repairs and so there was money enough left over to do this.

I have had the idea of putting bead board on the ceiling to cover up the ugly crack there. If you click on the picture it will enlarge.

So bead board and strips of wood went up. What a transformation! It gives some some class to our plain 1960s kitchen. The other thing I have wanted to do was use bead board and trim on the island in our kitchen. So plain...
The metamorphosis begins. What a difference. Our plain Jane island now looks classy. The laminate butcher block counter even looks better! Such a huge change for little money, especially if you can do it yourself, or a tree falls down in your backyard. If you don't know what I'm talking about you can read more about it here. If you've read my blog more than a couple of times you know I love blue. My friend came for lunch on Friday and here is how I set the table: blue willow teapot, blue transfer ware cups and saucers. Blue glass and some flowers from the garden ( some of the few that the deer didn't eat)Everything set on a checked cloth with placemats and napkins trimmed with blue and white checks Mondays at my house are always filled with blue things. Actually so are Tuesdays, Wednesdays..well you get the idea.

Make sure you visit Susan to see other metamorphosis posts and Sal to see other blue posts.

Hope your week gets off to a good start. Thanks for stopping by today.
