Susan, over at Between Naps on the Porch is hosting Metamorphosis Monday and I get to play along!!
Above are the "Before" pictures of the kitchen. It was wallpapered in a floral pattern. I have so many tchotkes (stuff) that I felt it was too 'busy' looking. My dear, kind, and loving husband agreed to paint it. The color is called "Friendly Yellow"--a soft, buttery color.Below are the "After" pics...
At one point I had taken all the photos and poems off the fridge. Much to my surprise, Steve didn't like it! He said it didn't look "homey"!! Gotta love that man!! ;-)
We moved the buffet that was in front of the window into the sitting room...I'll show that next week. I have more pics of the kitchen and will post them this week....it's late now and I'm pooped!

LOVE the yellow Myrna! It's a great compliment color to all the oak in the family room as it has so many gold tones in that color of wood. Very cute! Toni

Such a beautiful, "homey" kitchen. The attention to detail is wonderful. I liked the wallpaper before and was sad to see it go, BUT sometimes change is good! Love it! Mary Ann
