speaking of colored walls


i'm getting sick of my paprika ones in the kitchen. i was thinking of something significantly lighter. and maybe a touch happier. and slightly vintage. yet modern. and artsy, but not too weird. something that matches my stuff. and allows me to make cute, matching curtains.

anyhoo. i ALMOST bought some baked squash and spicey jalapeno to throw on the walls this weekend, and then i chickened out.

whattya think?

well, considering about 3/4ths of my house is ALREADY that color, i guess i'm filling in the lines and knowing you are not crazy about my color palette :)

but then again, i think it's safe to say our tastes, um, differ ;)

I really like it Bobbi. It is the colors I have been looking at for my bookmarks. I am going to be using some of those colors soon. I really like the splash of spring. I find my brigher curtains more uplifting. I NEED SUN! K~

If anyone could pull it off, it's you. I actually like the avocado and not so much the squash...

You are SO coming to my new house, woman. I need that "it's only paint" attitude, and not my "oh my gosh, what if I mess up and it's ugly" end of the world attitude.

well, i have painted over alot of my walls in the 4 1/2 years i have had walls to paint over :)

mostly, i like just going for it. it's kind of like getting a haircut or a new pair of shoes :)
