Non-Olympics (900th) post

I've been painting my kitchen the last two nights (thank you Michelle for helping me). I love how it looks! I'm re-ordering the "Kitchen of Inspiration" vinyl lettering and have a bit more organizing to do but I'm very happy with my new kitchen!
























I will be doing a random drawing to celebrate my 900th post. Leave a comment here and I will pick a random winner Saturday night at midnight (EST) who will receive 9 of something!

Very nice! I always like a good aqua & red pairing.

Diana said...

You definitely need a red telephone to go with the rest of your red appliances. The kitchen looks great!

Jim and Lisa said...

I think your kitchen turned out cuter than the magazine cover you posted previously. It is so cute.

Amy D said...

Ellen, it looks so great. Congrats! I wish we were done with our painting...

Sandman said...

Nice shade of blue for your red world!

Sherene said...

It looks fantastic! 900 posts, WOW! I'm happy we hit 100. Love the blog.

Kitchen looks amazing. Good job!

Alecia said...

Nine of something? Hmm... Could it be some fabulous napkins? I'm looking forward to seeing this new kitchen. You're turning into another Pioneer Woman!

gigi said...

Hey, could it be 9 $100 dollar bills?!? Then I would have some one come and paint my badly needed living room. My kitchen got painted last year but this other room is the pits! I just can't decide what color I really want. I think the shade you painted will inspire more good things from your kitchen!

Quinn said...

Love the Kitchen, Ellen. Wish we could see it in person.

Ann-Marie said...

The blue looks GREAT with your red : )

Melanie said...

Your kitchen looks fab. Just like the mint chocolate chip ice cream. Yay for us being mint green house twins!

Sweetpea said...

9 pieces of chocolate? 9 cheese pizzas? 9 Boston Cream donuts? 9 gummy worms? 9 cupcakes? 9 ice cream cones? 9 french fries?

Can you tell I'm jonesing for comfort food, gross unhealthy comfort food?

Maybe 9 lords a leaping?

This is similar to the color I am painting my bedroom! "Tidepool" from Behr. I love it. A friend in Sonoma painted her bathroom the color. I love it with red.

I gotta get back tpwork touching up my kitchen. It's yellow (Hinoki from Sherwyn Williams) and I'm throwing a bridal shower on Tuesday.

Congratulations on 900!! You've done a fabulous job sharing your life and keeping us entertained. One day I may get to Boston. A co-worker has been ther all this week. (not for fun, her mother is ill) Hey I know, 9 pieces of "debris". -- the Roman Gardener

Awesome paint job and great job blogging! It's always a blast to read!

Janika said...

Wow!!! 900 posts--how did that happen?!! Has it really been that many and how do you tally them up? I can say it has been a pleasure to have read all 900 of them! Thanks for all the inspiration! Oh, and the kitchen looks great!

It's too bad it's not 09/09/09 for your 900th post. Oh well, it's possibly an Olympic feat to have written 900 blog posts. Thanks for the subway reading advice, I've started rereading the HP books but Book 4 is a bit big and they only get bigger...

I love your new kitchen!

Frozen Cacti said...

I don't about winning, just wanted to say thanks for all the intersting information that you freely share. Your blog is a daily read at our house. Oh - I really like the color you chose for your kitchen too.

Melanie said...

I haven't posted in awhile, but I've loved the Olympic stories! Your kitchen and your blog are amazing!
