Break Over
Whew! I am in full on Pre-Spring mode. Funny because it is snowing here...more snow than during Christmas. Suddenly the whole house looks flat to me. Time to bump it up...paint some walls, re-arrange some furniture and get rid of the sad and saggy. Not so much a Spring Cleaning as much as a Spring Overhaul.
The hard part is knowing where to start. I am thinking that perhaps the family room needs attention first. New paint, new curtains and the furniture re-arranged...of course it is attached to the kitchen which means it will be done next.
It always amazes me how different the rooms can look when the furniture is re-arranged and accessories are moved from one room to another. The low cost way to give rooms a new look. For a bigger change I re-paint. Even a minor change in paint color can really change the feel of a room. The hardest part for me is selecting the color. It takes me forever and a day. I can choose a car faster than a paint color...doesn't make sense I know but that is how I am. I have to say it drives the Hubbie beyond crazy. After all these years he knows to just leave me alone with the paint swatches and stay clear.
I just love these Paint Colors from Pottery Barn. I have long admired the paint colors in the catalog and now they have a guide to the exact paint colors on each page. I haven't selected any yet but that is my goal for this week...choose the colors and buy the paint. Break over.
Welcome back. Can't wait to see the changes in your kitchen.

I am going through the same thing right now! I have the same PB Paint chip on my desk (along with 100 others) and have tortured my honey over the past 3 weeks about which colors to go with. He repainted 2 rooms for me. Almost finished . . . can't wait!

Those PB chips make us all want to paint! Love so many of their colors. Good luck on picking one out. Can't wait to see more.

But, how many artists REALLY care about what kind of car they drive? Afterall, paint color is an EMOTIONAL issue!! You have to look at it, and love it Every Single Day ! tee hee. thanks for sharing.
artfully, sandy
