On This Very Night

my kitchen is blue -and brown. Blue for water to balance out the fire of the oven and the stove and brown for wood to feed the fire. It is a dark blue but I get tons of light.

A green in the sea foam or mint could go retro, modern, shabby chic or beachy-calm. Do you have a theme or feel for your kitchen? When the Pantone people talk about colors, they always seem to describe feelings or emotions. I am afraid of my kitchen as I am not a great cook, so I used feng shui balance philosophy to find a water color to try to ease the hot pressure it and calm myself. (lol ) I'm only kind of kidding, because I do actually like it much more than before when it was orange.

I didn't think you sounded pompous at all. Truly, I thought it was very sweet. I'm also stalling on painting my kitchen - the whole house actually, but starting with the kitchen. I don't care at all for the colors I chose when we built three years ago. I really want my kitchen to be some shade of green. In an attempt to find the right shade I have nine splotches on five different walls between the kitchen and keeping room. Still not satisfied. I'll probably end up painting it the same color in my pantry - Nevada Sand, a bit creamier than the beige-white in my palette.

I'm glad you found the palette inspiring. Got a good kitchen green for me?

I guess it spilled over into my intended compliment! I need to paint a room in my house, and I've been stalling. Your palette has inspired me to get moving again!
