The Kitchen is painted at 609. It feels like home as it’s the color we used at 358. I used 358 as my inspiration in order to make 609 feel instantly like home to our family. It was our home for 22 years.

We still need to decide on the accent color for the fireplace wall. No, the blue is not staying.
Some considerations are:
1-Cracked Pepper (Office Color)
2-Cream
3-Byzantine Gold (DR color)
4-Other (Open to ideas)
We also need to switch out the light above the table. I’d like a nice lantern chandelier or maybe some bling. But, that’s the fun part-shopping.
I used the same Swatch: Benjamin Moore 132 as I did for my Dining Room project.
-Wall Color: BM:Bridgewater Tan 1096 -Ceiling: Vaspar:Malted Milk 7003-9
I met the Vaspar Rep at Lowe’s and told him I’m a new fan of his Paint Line. I think the larger samples actually won me over. It just makes it easier to decide. You can actually see them.
The Butler’s Pantry is painted part BM Bridgewater Tan and part Vaspar Malted Milk. I wanted to lighten up the Hallway leading to the Laundry Room, Garage and Amanda’s Room. I love it. Amanda’s not a fan of all the Malted Milk. Oh well. There is always a critic.
The kitchen will be lovely once the blue countertops are replaced and the pulls on the cupboards are updated. Rome wasn’t built in a day. It’s all going to come together.
I’m pooped so I’m relaxing in the Sunroom. I haven’t painted it yet; but, I decided to start setting it up anyway. I didn’t hang the picture yet either; that’s Michael’s Department. I’m going to leave the Sunroom a quiet color. Perhaps more Vaspar: Malted Milk or I might continue with BM: Bridgewater Tan or take Amanda’s advice and paint it BM: Oakwood Manor. I’m using BM: Oakwood Manor in the Hallway. I hope to install a brick floor or possibly just replace the carpet with sisal carpeting in the Sunroom as well.
The furniture is mostly from the 358 Family Room. However, I stole the trunk from Amanda’s Bedroom. Shhh, don’t tell her.
The view is lovely and the sounds of the birds and the rooster crowing is heavenly.
Austin told us the Sunroom is his favorite space when he visits and that he’d be disappointed if there was a tv. I agree. Sometimes you need a spot for quiet contemplation and reading. This is that perfect spot. Michael and Amanda don’t agree; they’d like a TV in every room. What are your thoughts on the matter?
Happy Monday,
EnJOY-Trisha
