Kathys Cottage

I know, I'm on a break, but I just had to show you the pretty oops paint I picked up at Lowes while I was choosing my paint color for the dining room,(which turned out to be white but more about that later).  I always check the marked down paint and for $1 I fell in love with this pretty greeny, bluish aqua. It looks great on this old chair and I think it might be a color I incorporate into the dining room and kitchen in small touches.

It is almost the color of the eggs our Aracauna chickens lay. The eggs look a lot more green in the photo but they really are a pretty good match in real life.

Pretty. 
I have the dining room painted now (with Earl's help) and it feels so good to have that done. One more major thing off my checklist.  It's white, that was a shocker for my family. My daughter Lauren laughed that she never thought she would see the day that I would paint a room white. I have to agree. But I just got tired of obsessing about the color.  Life is too short to worry endlessly about the right color and shade of a room. The way I see it, this soft milky white goes with everything and anything I will want to put in there. So far I like how bright and clean and fresh it looks. No regrets. Maybe it was time for me to give white a chance:>) 

Back to work, because really, I am on a blog break.  See you soon!
Oh, and here's a tip. Head on over to this lady's blog and say hello. She is celebrating her one year blogoversary with a couple great give-aways you won't want to miss:>)
