My Living Space

Silver kitchen

Cream back splash

Red room

Dining

Several people have asked for pictures of the changes to the house. As much as I love pics, I always feel they don't reflect the authenticity of the caption. For example, no matter what lighting I used, the walls of the house look white in these photos, yet they are a warm cream color.

For the kitchen, we used a glossy paint to cover the glaring aluminum back splash. It brightened the kitchen and doesn't clash with the stainless steel appliances. When taking pics of the house, I felt like I was playing Where's Waldo because each of the animals made an appearance. Yes, Cleo lies on the kitchen counter, but I have a legitimate reason for allowing this behavior. Bartle is allergic to her food so the counter is the one place where we can feed Cleo and not have a medical issue.

Notice in the dining area, the atrocious gold and glass chandelier that hung at a ridiculously low level, probably because it weighed a ton. The chandelier has been replaced with lovely track lighting. The red wall which made the room feel dark and small is gone and replaced with a cream wall featuring my photography. Yep, those are my travel photos enlarged and framed. I love the dark red wood high-top table and the accent rug that matches.

I'll post pics of the living room and bedroom soon.
