Time for change

I'm not sure if it is because of Fall and the trees making their yearly color change, but I'm ready for a change. I took my MIL shopping about a month ago and fell in love with a set of dishes at Linens-n-Things. So Tuesday I decided I needed those dishes, to note my current dishes are only 7 years old and in great condition. That might have something to do with me hating to cook and the fact that this household goes through a lot of paper plates. Again because I hate to do dishes, OK fine I hate any type of cleaning.

So, off I go on Tuesday morning for an hour drive to the closest LNT. I get there and they don't have any. I was so bummed. I did find a set of serving dishes that matched, so I decided to ask if they would be getting anymore in. To my dismay they were being discontinued and they checked the computers and it showed that only 1 store had 2 left. Of course this store is 2 hours from my house, but they called to check on how many they had because the computers are not always right. I was so excited when I found out that they not only had 2 sets but 4. With a little credit card info they will be shipped to my house by the end of the week. Not only were they on sale for $40 instead of $80, the nice college kid who must have thought I was HOT, told they other store that I had 3 coupons for 20% and to please ring them up separately. Gosh I Love a sale.

After my great deal we headed off to Lowe's for paint. Here is where my change comes in. I decided that I'm going to paint my Kitchen to match the design on the plates. So 4 gallons and $120 in paint later I'm ready to tackle my kitchen. As you can see from the pics that it is not my style at all. I'm not really into the flowers, to girly. I need something to make me feel young again. What better thing than to paint your kitchen red, yellow and 2 different shades of orange in a block pattern. Remember I'm matching the design on the plate. Wish me luck!! I will need it.

These are the before pics and a picture of the plate that I got my idea from.

Till next time~Peace

That is gonna look awesome! I love block patterns like that. When we moved into this house last year every room in the whole house was white! I have three done, but a hell of a lot more to go! My kitchen and master bedroom are my projects for the winter. Everything was totally redone, but desperately needs color! Maybe once you are a pro painter, I will have to kidnap you to help!

Love the dishes, Isn't it great when you find just what you were looking for...AND it's on sale?!

Kel-I'm so excited to get it done. My grandma's sister is coming for a visit in 2 weeks and I want it done by then.
Are you going to ask for a ransom? Then we could get your entire house done and I would never have to go back home. Ha HA

Bossy- mY MOM WAS OVER WATCHING ME TEAR DOWN WALLPAPER LAST NIGHT, SHE WAS CRYING BECAUSE SHE PAID A LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE THAT DONE. VERY SYMPATHICLY I SAY, "YEAH, IT IS COSTING ME ALOT TO FIX IT". hA hA TAKE THAT
