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!

  21. 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!

    Maybe 9 lords a leaping?

  26. 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.

    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...
