Painting my kitchen!

So I just dropped a hundred bucks at Ace Hardware. I know in the world of home renovations and design, $100 is not a lot. But to us? Ouch. It is a splurge.

We are painting the kitchen! Correction, my father-in-law is painting OUR kitchen. He is a much better painter than my husband or I.

I will get photos once it is done. For now, are you curious about the colors?

We went with Benjamin Moore Shaker Beige and a little accent of Lenox Tan. The kitchen right now is "builder white". :)

Here is a photo I found online that shows Shaker Beige:

from Bossy Color. She is the queen!

And here is the slightly darker, Lenox Tan that is accenting around the pantry ( it will also be the color of our entryway in the near future)found photo here

I am excited to get some color on the walls, the neutral kitchen will complement my pale blue and dark brown living room. I think I will accent with bright colored dishes. What do you think?
Do you have any experience with these paint colors?

Fall Inspiration

Have you started decorating for Fall yet? To be honest, there are still a few Easter eggs on my mantle. I should have put them away by now. Don't call the Mantle Police. Think of my children.

I'm determined to get some fall decor going around here. Check out these inspirations I found, they will get you in the spirit!

I have got to do this on our mantle (once I remove the eggs).

Loving this too, with the contrast of the white pumpkin and the dark holder thingy. I'm thinking mantle, but this would work on a bathroom vanity too!

found on pinterest here

Oooh I want these for by my front door! Except I fear that our furry beast would eat them. This is the same reason I can't have light up Christmas decorations in the front yard. And why we have nightmares about the UPS man leaving packages by the door.

Enough pretties for today folks. I have to hit the books!

Happy Fall Decorating!
