Kitchen, Dining & Blogs of Note!

I am SO excited about my mention on "Blogs Of Note" today!!! How cool!

I am painting the Kitchen, adding more beadboard, and painting the Dining Room today and tomorrow...stay tuned for a video of the process tomorrow or the next day.

Remember what my Kitchen & Dining Rooms looked like BEFORE?





And here they are as of a couple of months ago:






Well, they look A LOT different right now! I can't wait to show you.

Can you guess which two colors I'm using? And which color, in which room?
First one to guess correctly wins one of my Written Consultations!

Happy New Year!
Layla

Hey, girl! So happy you made your announcement & I can't wait to hear more. I really HOPE they pick you to come out to Hollywood. You are perfect for that show, they just need to see it!

I'm not even gonna guess on your colors, but I bet green is in there somewhere!

So, you could still go to Blissdom cause it's early Feb.! Pretty please, go!

I guess a shade of green in the kitchen and a yellow in the dining room. I really have no idea whatsoever, but I'd love to win the written consultation so I'm giving it a guess! :)

Letti said...

White in the kitchen and blue in the dining room

hriaz said...

I think a creamy yellow in the kitchen and brown with a red tinge in the living room...

The Runyans said...

i'm thinking green and that pretty blue you showed sometime back that your mom used. i can't wait to see them!!!!! i think that blue would look so cool next to your beadboard in your dining room!

Nancy Hood said...

I would never ever have seen what you did in the kitchen :) but sure wish I could!! Looking forward to seeing the newer look.

OK! I am so excited about Design Star! I sure hope you are chosen! I cant wait! Now for the colors! Oh my goodness, whatever you pick I already know I will love it! So, to guess (because I would love to win a consultation!) some sort of taupe and light blue?! I cant wait to see it!

Cindy said...

Congrats on the Blog of Note!!! Wow, you must be wondering what exciting things are going to happen next! Enjoy! I have a feeling this is just the beginning of something really big for you!

Dianne said...

I think you're staying with neutrals, leaving the cabs black and using tones of taupe or gray.

Karen said...

Orange and Chocolate brown?
These are the colors my sister used recently and they are beautiful. Could I be right?

Your Mom's beautiful robin's egg blue in the kitchen, and maybe the apple green of the back door in the pantry for the dining room? I hope I'm right. I sure could use a design consultation!

I'm going to guess Benjamin Moore Guilford Green (HC 116)in the kitchen and Gray Cashmere (2138-60)in the dining room. Can I guess twice?? Or Grant Beige (HC 83) in the kitchen and Smoky Green (CC-700)in the dining.

My Guess:
Bunny Grey (BMoore) my new favorite!
and a bright green.

Can't wait to see!

Elemeno said...

I'd guess the colour to be a perfect peach and rose. Unfinished brick in one corner. Love the room settings. Modern, up-to-date but still convey Americana.

Wsprsweetly Of Cottages said...

Loves anything cottage. Wow, could be anything. I always go for moss green, soft gold, always red mixed with pink.. I have not a clue, but I can't wait to see it. Mine is a house of many colors. ~smile~ CONGRATULATIONS on being chosen as a Blog of Note! I know you will do great on Design Star. Good luck!

A soft shade of blue for both - since the wainscoting will break it up a bit. Not sure but I'm taking a guess for that consult!

Bummer that I didn't see this post earlier! I would of totally loved a written consult. It has to be Robin Egg blue!!

Tanya said...

Ok, I have to say that I love your black and white kitchen and can't imagine it looking much better! I'm anxious to see what you came up with!

I'm guessing that you are going with blues and greens...?

I know I'm obsessed with blues right now so I have it on my mind :)

Anonymous said...

I'm glad you were chosen for Blogs of Note, otherwise I would have never found this wonderful blog. Congrats!! I would guess you are going to use a type of slate gray in the kitchen and a green in the dining room.

I now even dont have a kitchen.
alas! i never use it.
but looks like a great idea, but you have to shell out extra bucks for getting so many things there.

Seriously though. If I paid you double or even triple, would you redo my kitchen while wearing lingerie?

Just curious.
