well, moving into my new place 2 weeks before my Holiday Shoppe opened was not very good timing.  I basically, moved in, unpacked what i had and that was that, no decorating, no day dreaming about how to transform a room…nothing.  no time.

well, i had a few days off in january and made a few quick changes because while time was still at a premium, i could not live one more day with the pale institutional yellow paint in my kitchen.

not. one. more. day.

well, without much thought at all, i just decided to go nuts and paint my kitchen PINK!  …AND BLACK!  it is STILL a work in progress…i need a little more art, i need a rug, i have to arrange the items in my cupboard, but it is SUCH a relief to be walk into my kitchen and NOT into that hospital yellow color but a fun and happy color.  IN FACT, i have found myself cooking and baking with some regularity since making the change…this, this is notable!

BEFORE: i swear the yellow paint was WAY worse in person:

AFTER: well sorta, still have stuff to do, but you get the idea
