Kitchen!

Our big project for this week has been redecorating our kitchen. It was a pretty 'blah' room...white walls, white cabinets, white appliances. BORING!! So after a bit of paint and some new wall accents we've gone from this:


to this:


Much warmer! I'm just delighted with the willowy olive color. I've had the mirror for years, but we never could find a suitable place to hang it. It compliments that large wall nicely, I think and, according to Feng Shui, a mirror reflecting the dining table promotes prosperity. Still a bit unsure about the art on the east wall (on the right), but I'll look at it for a few days and see how I feel about it.

Still, it's nice to have some change. The dullness of that room had been driving me mad. I need color.

Tomorrow is my last day on vacation before returning to work. These past eight days have gone by in a flash, though I did get a lot accomplished (I ate a LOT more cookies than I had originally planned). However I am only returning for one week so another optician can go on her vacation. After which I am taking another eleven days off.

Yeah, I know....I'm getting spoiled this month with all my time off. I had originally planned to take the entire month of March off, but decided that wasn't entirely practical. This is a good balance. And I am very grateful.
