It's Almost Time for Painting

The weather is warming up & I'm itching to start painting! I went to the store to price paint & pick out my paint chips! I have a really sweet light aqua, called "water dance" for the living room with accents in an even lighter shade, called "seacrest spray"; How perfect for that beach cottage I'm trying to achieve??!!

For the foyer, I've picked out a really light green shade called "sweet pea", which will also go nicely with my Paris "shrine" (see earlier post)!

My kitchen/dining will be a bit more challenging, as I've decided to paint my counter tops (I found wonderful directions online) and all the cabinets. They are going to be in 2 different shades of off white; one is called "vanilla creme" and the other is "cashmere white"! So beautiful! I'm still not sure about the walls in that room, but I will probably go with the "sweet pea" green... I already have a shabby chic theme in there, complete with Rachel Ashwell's shabby chic linens & tablecloth, so I think the green will give it just the right touch!

BUT, also in the foyer & kitchen/dining... I decided to paint my linoleum floor... yep!! Just squares of black, to make it checkerboard... and yes, found those directions online too!! ;)

I can't wait, now I just have to decide which project to start first!!!!
