just a little slip...

9/19/14

So, you know that supernatural restraint I used with my kitchen revamp?  The one that kept me from over saturating the space with color and pattern...the one that encouraged me to keep it simple?


The one that flew out the window in the dining room redo when I found this fabric for the curtains?


You know, that one...

It may have slipped a little bit while I was strolling the aisles of Cost Plus World Market looking for stemless wine glasses.


It may have allowed these two adorable spice ramekins to jump into my basket along with this pretty blue strainer.  Which caused me to go in search of a little counter balancing color for the other side of the shelf over the stove.  Luckily, I remembered this pretty yellow bowl I already had tucked away at home.


No worries, I reigned it all back in just in the nick of time.  Just a little splash of color to tie the two rooms together was all it took to put that color monster back in the box.

Until of course I start on the living room.

xo, Patty

  7. Thanks Connie. I agree with your statement. I think what we all need to work on is being confident in what our "cheery mix" is!
