Well hello cute people...it's been awhile!
I took a small break from blogging but now I'm back to my regularly scheduled program:)
Can you see the reason for my little bloggy break in the above photo?...
YEP!
We have been painting at my little cottage!
So far we have the kitchen walls painted....
when I say "we"...I mean Mr. Honey and I.
Kassidy and Sterling have been helping out too which makes it a family project...a big one!
The walls above the beadboard have been butter yellow for 9 years and now they are aqua!
We are installing wood flooring
throughout the house...
and so I decided it was time for a change all around and that the perfect time to do it would be during the long winter months ahead.
The cupboards, doors, beadboard and trim have been white for 9 years too and are still in great shape ...but while we were at it it...we put a fresh coat on them too.
I'm letting the paint cure for a few days before putting the handles and knobs back on.
I'm also repainting each piece of
furniture in the kitchen...
this is my vintage little girl's cupboard
now painted yellow.
It used to be a jadeite green.
I love my little cupboard...
I bought it years ago while thrifting
and have always kept it in my kitchen.
When the kids were little I kept playdough, crayons, coloring books, paper,
colored pencils and art supplies in it
so they could sit up to the table and be creative while I was in the kitchen.
Now I keep my baking supplies inside:)
I'll show you what it looks like inside when I put everything back together!
I hope you had a lovely Christmas...we did!
I did take some time to do a
little bit of sewing for gifts...
I took plenty of pictures and I will show you everything I made in my upcoming posts.
It's good to be back...I have missed you!

Lori,
I can't wait to see this done! Can I help??? I just love your daring in colors!!!! I have this kind of aqua/blue color on the walls of my craft room, but my WHOLE house it seems is butter yellow....helps make it light. That little cabinet is so cute. I just do not have any wall space in this modular home of mine....I so wish I did! Looking forward to more posts! Sandy
It looks so clean and fresh. I am glad you are back blogging. I hope to get up and running soon.
it looks lovely, of course!
have your cabinets always been white?
mine are oak and i'm trying real hard to get brave enough to paint them, even though it's not the best wood for painting.
i just love white kitchens {with lots of beadboard}.
It's looking good over there. Nothing like fresh paint to make a room look new. Love that yellow cupboard.
Love that blue and I love what you use the little hutch for. Too cute! Have fun! We're starting a little project in Baby Bee's room too. Having a hard time deciding on the paint color, but the fabrics are all coming together beautifully! Hope your Christmas was marvelous! Happy New Year!
Love the colors that you have chosen it all looks fantastic.
OH I just love that aqua with the fresh white!
beautiful
can' t wait to see more

What an ambitious project for Christmas time. Everything always looks new and happy with a fresh coat of paint.
I just adore these colours and yellow is my fave. That cupboard is adorable... and not just for a little girl....Happy New Year!
That's my color this year!! I'd love to do my kitchen in aqua too but for now, just the bedroom! Can't wait to see it all done and dried! lol
I love your colors too! :) Happy New Year!
I love your new colors. What a "pick me up". Can't wait to see the finished projects and also the pictures of the gifts you made. Have a Happy, Healthy New Year.

I am so glad your back you have been missed! I lUVRE new color, I adored your home before I can't wait to see the new transformations as they continue! I have a wee question, perhaps u would rather not comment and I understand if so....but what ever became of your Daisy! She was a cutie and I have wanted to inquire but it seemed never a good time to ask. I loved the doggie bed you created and had hoped for a bit of info on it.
Keep up the awesome work, you amaze me with every post!

Can you tell me the color you used? My daughter wants to paint her nursery about that color. Would love to know the name and make..Might just work for her.
Thanks,
Pat

I love your colors!!! I just found your blog. I love everything about it. Thank you for sharing.
Um, wow! So beautiful! And so neat that it is a family project.

Love your colors! I have the same colors in my family room and kitchen!
LOVE the new colors!!!! I'm so jealous. We have a new house with all of the builder's beige on everything. BLAH!!! Maybe I can tackle it in a couple of years when I don't have toddlers "helping" me. :)
LOVE the new colors! I'm so jealous. We are in a new house and have builder's beige everywhere. BLAH! But, maybe in a couple of years I can tackle that...not sure I'd accomplish much right now with 2 toddlers "helping" out. :)
