Pinterest Kitchen

it’s Friday … Pinterest Friday!

And today I will share with you what happened when I needed to Purge - because I told you I had to paint, but not what I had decided to paint!

… because I was a little embarrassed – we’ve lived in this house 3 1/2 years and this is the 4th time I’m painting the kitchen.

Well, a little change never hurt anybody did it – fortunately I’m very happy to say … I’ve found IT … I have found the colour that I love for the kitchen.

and this is it

…Buttercup …. doesn’t that just sing of happiness?

Well it is stunning – and warm – and pretty and lovely … so much so that for a little moment yesterday I considered bringing in a mattress and sleeping in the kitchen because it made me so happy.

It finally feels like a room in its own right!

But then … curtains – so off I went to Pinterest again – didn’t find anything I really liked so off I went to ETSY and they had some fabrics I was interested in. So all I had to do was use my little “Pin It” button up there in my “favorites” bar and voila – now it is on Pinterest and I have had quite a few people repin it – I swear Pinterest is such a great tool!

Here are three fabrics I’m considering

Coffee Pots ... Love it!

Love the idea of the Brown here ....

Coffee Cups

These are the ones I’m thinking of right now – it is entirely possible that I will have to spend some more time on it … though I like the cups especially lots!

Oh then I would like an island in my kitchen – I do actually have one right now – there was one in the corner of our kitchen which I just decided to try to move into the middle of the kitchen to see how I’d feel having to walk around it – and I love it. I thought I’d be really annoyed and might find myself with numerous black marks on my hips from having doinked into it – but so far not so much as a touch to my lovely (!) hips.

But of course I’d like a better, bigger, nicer island because the one we have is not very nice and not quite big enough – and how lucky is that? Because it means a trip to IKEA – biggest IKEA in Canada … just opened in December and first time for Mr. Hubby to see it (I of course was there on opening day).

So – there you see, a wonderful way to play with Pinterest.

I got to show you all what I’ve done, what I would like and what I’m pretty sure I will get!

Have a wonderful weekend all!
