Ask Nora, she will tell you....''Mommy was over the red.''
After 7 years of a autumn maple red kitchen, it is gone, gone, gone! Don't know where the inspiration came from but it is now Palamino Gold....apricot to simplify.
Who knew a soul could be rejuvenated so readily by color. Cooking in sunshine is what it feels like.
To the hubbys' chagrin, a Pandora's box of renovation and simplification has been opened. This desperate housewife is trying not to stray into the realm of ridiculous expenditure on decoration.
Paint is cheap. Kitchen is done, check.....Nora's room is Lilac Bouquet(lavender)...and now to attack my red bedroom. Soon to be Flecked Gold, a shade of light yellowy green moss. Coolness, earthy smells, calm breezes are all I imagine in this hue.
As a friend pointed out, I was living in a LOT of red rooms between the kitchen and the master bedroom. Red is the color of passion, blood, love, anger and many other strong emotions.
Strong emotion has ruled my life for many months and it is ebbing now...calming, coloring my soul with happiness in this new life.
