Need your opinion

It’s been a busy day here, I woke up at 3 A.M. with the urge paint. Yes, I know that may sound weird…but I like to paint.  I knew I wanted to move these cabinets to this spot yesterday when I was finishing up my cleaning/de-cluttering of the study. It bugged me all night long to think that I would need to take everything out of them, and move them from there spots to this new spot without the wall being painted.  Only to have to turn around and take everything out again when I finally did paint the kitchen.

So, I did it, I painted part of the kitchen this morning and I LOVE it. It’s amazing what a little color will do. I only did one section of the kitchen because I knew I wouldn’t be able to devote the full day that it needed. I won’t be up tonight either because I’ve got bigger fish to fry in the paint department, i.e. our school room  .

I’ve got big plans for this kitchen. Do you see how pretty the white molding looks against the yellow? Now, picture my cabinets being an off-white color, new sink and faucet, and Ubba Tubba granite counter tops ( I love that name and color, we had this granite in our first house in Oak Harbor). I got my inspiration from Janelle, over at Isabelle & Max Rooms. Oh, a girl can dream right, first I have to run it by the Lt. and get the go-ahead to have them painted white.

So, here’s where you come in, do you think I should paint these cabinets? I am thinking a barn red, black, or green.

Hmmm, what to do?  Would you paint them or leave them?

Hi Grandma!

Look what I can do now!!! I am 10 months old, aren’t I getting so big. I decided that I was going to stand up and make Mommy and sisters run around the house squealing with excitement while I flossed my gums after lunch.  Mommy found her camera just before my legs got too tired, whew!

I am still a peanut, weighing in at just over 13 lbs, but I can hold my own around here. I have lots of fun every day hanging out with Mommy and my sisters. I just started table food too, today I had some chicken and mashed taters…I think I like it! 

See my shirt, it says “Lit’l Rampager”, Daddy got it from the command when I was born, I am just now growing into it.  Guess what?!?  Daddy comes home in a few weeks ( I think that’s why Mommy is cleaning and painting so much), we are soooo excited to see him.

Well, it’s time for this Princess to get some beauty sleep. Can’t wait to see you again and show you all my new tricks.

Love you!!!
