A Small Snippet

i didn’t really think through that i was going to have to change out all my accessories too, since all of them had red accents…so i did some reconfiguring around the house and moved the kiddos profiles into the kitchen. we also gave the table and chairs a fresh coat of black semi-gloss paint, so they’ll wipe down easier. (i put two coats of polyurethane on the table top for added protection against little forks being used as drumsticks.) we did away with the old cushions…and i kinda like how crisp it is with nothing on the chairs! however, bella did NOT want her booster seat back in the house, so she is officially sitting in a chair like a “big girl” and she thinks she’s so cool!!
i bought white curtains to replace the black and white houndstooth, but ended up really liking our old ones more! so we just hung the rod higher, hung them from rings and i took off the yellow ribbon stripe that was on them, to give them a new look.
we created a little “art nook” under the chalkboard wall (who’s frame i painted white), so the kiddos have easy access to all their supplies, with baskets for homework and projects.
Canaan takes after his momma, cause the second i brought home those glass jars and started putting those art supplies in them, he started running through the house, taking different baskets and buckets and telling me about all of the collections he wants to organize…all the while proclaiming how much he loves organizing!! does a momma’s heart good to hear that!!

its amazing how much of a change a simple painted room makes in our house. we are delighted with the paint choice (which does not happen very often on the first try!) and are excited to have a new crisp and clean feeling to our kitchen.
