I live in a colorless house, (it's a nice house, don't get me wrong), but it's all ONE color! It's a nice neutral, calming color, but ONE color none the less. I finally got around to painting my kitchen. Picking a color is so hard. How do you know what it's really going to look like? Everyone seems to have a red kitchen or some variation of it. My last kitchen was purple. I love purple. I can't help it. I loved it, but I don't think everyone else shared my excitement. ;) This time I went a little more conservative, even though with such light colored cabinets I probably could have gone with a darker shade if I wanted to. When I told everyone I was going to paint it orange I could see the look of fear in their eyes... thoughts of pumpkins and carrots immediately springing in to their heads. It's not ORANGE orange, it's actually called "teracotta". And...I like it! So nice to have a little color! On to the next room! :)
