paint week

In my dining room I had this awesome huge mirror.  It made my apartment look bigger.  It made my apartment look brighter.  It promoted vanity.  Eeewwwwwwww.

So I took it down, which left my dining room/kitchen looking barren.  Have no fear, when paint is near!!!
First I painted the walls this yellow/green.  It looked interesting with my dark brown cabinets.
Then I painted the cabinets white.  Love the cabinets.
Then the walls started to play tricks with my eyes...
Our skin started to look yellow/green...
I started getting anxiety at night...
So I repainted the walls beige.
Made my first craft.
And am pleased.

How on earth did God create such a beautiful world in 6 days when it took me 6 days to paint my kitchen?  Because He's awesome. :)  I wonder if He had moments of "that looks odd" like I did. :)


It's true, I live in an apartment and who knows how long I'll be here.  But painting that kitchen made my temporary dwelling space more homie-feeling.  What a great way to start off the rainy season!

Looks great! I'm impressed it only took you twice to figure out what color you wanted the walls. It takes us painting the walls 5 times, each in a different color, before we decide it looks good.
