Paint Colors Chosen

It's been a couple of days since my last post and not much has happened since. We have decided to go a whole new direction in the wall color. Since we purposely chose light cabinets, a light counter top and are having cam lights and under cabinet lighting installed I thought we could go with darker wall colors. We've decided on the blue to far right and the brick brown next to it. The blue isn't as true as it originally was since I tried to do a "dry brush" technique on it. I'm so not the crafty type.

We did find a table and chairs this weekend and they're sitting in the garage waiting for the final reveal. It's a round pedestal with a faux stone top. The picture is a lot darker than it is in person. We found the table at Bar Stools and Dinettes (http://www.barstoolsanddinettes.com/) I only found one pedestal table on-line I really liked but couldn't justify spending $900 on a kitchen table. It was gorgeous, it was bamboo, but just way to much money for a table that didn't even include chairs. Also, the more I thought about Milo and his need to free all imprisoned water the more I worried about a wood table. He's already managed to ruin one table so I figured why give him another chance. The new table is much smaller than we've had but I think it'll really make the room look bigger.

We still have to measure and order the cushions for the kitchen. I was thinking about a plaid but now that we've got the new chairs to go with the table, I think I'll try to find a fabric that matches. I'm definitely going to have someone make these cushions. My crafting skills are severely lacking and I want this to look good.

Well that's it for now, I'll update again when the vent is installed.
