A vision

When we bought our house all of the walls were the same boring neutral very light color. The color is okay, but EVERY wall? Drives me crazy. I love to experiment with decorating, but usually wait until an inspiration hits me.

For awhile now, I have had an idea for our kitchen. I always wanted a red kitchen, but with the woodwork being so dark in there I just could make myself paint the whole kitchen red. We have some wineglasses that are red with some gold accents. Made me think "Hmmmmm...........". We went to the store and found a metallic paint that is actually gold. It is way out there and not a color I would normally have choosen, but I thought, "what the heck, it's just paint."

After the first coat, I was sure I had a made a mistake. It looked awful. A friend came over and convinced me to finish it and see then what I thought. So I did. The results are in and I really like it. I thought I would share some pictures with you all. There are a couple of before pictures so you can see what it was like before. Sorry, but this silly site keeps putting the before pictures in the middle instead of at the start of the pics. I think you will be able to tell the difference though. :)

Of course, now that room is so bright and colorful the rest of the house looks so boring. I guess we better not put those brushes away just yet.
