I heard you
guys... I need color…and after some soul searching and some night sweats, I'm
officially over my color phobia :)
My next
project is the breakfast nook and it will be full of color. I have an
open concept floor plan, so the colorless family room is attached
to the kitchen and breakfast nook. If I add color to the breakfast nook, I
will automatically be adding a bit of color to the family room.
This is a
before picture of the nook.
Then I
worked with a cabinet-maker to make these lovely benches that came in this
week.
Now all we
need is some colorful upholstery! So baby K, MT and I went fabric
shopping.
I had all
shorts of ideas in my head, but there were so many choices, so my ideas kept
changing.
Below is the
first color combination for the breakfast nook cushions…
Then I changed my mind and here is the
second color combination for the breakfast nook cushions…
Then I changed my mind again and the
winner is...
I’m so
excited! The upholstery team picked up
the fabrics today and I will not see the finished work for another two weeks.
As for
adding color to the family room, I will add it after my cushions arrive. Once
the cushions are in the space, I will see what color will compliment the
cushions. I will then decide how these colors will appear in my family room
i.e. paintings, pillows, lamps etc.
