Spare of the moment kitchen revamp!

Yesterday was  a really long day, i just feel like i have managed to do so much!normally the times slips away and i have achieved nothing, but i do think today was made long by the little guys waking us up super early, let put it this way by the time i took the big kids to school all the house work was done, so i get back have a cup of tea and think what now... i know i will paint the kitchen, the whole house needs painting really but i thought i would make a start. Most of the downstairs is white with colour walls, but the kitchen is completely white. While i was busy painting Fred kept saying he wanted to paint it green and i thought you know what this kitchen could do with a bit of colour, so i popped out to the shed to see what we had in there. Most of them had very little in just enough for if we needed a touch up and the colours were all for the bedrooms, but i did find a midnight blue and bright red that i had used for Ewans room as he has a mini cooper theme in there. Hmmm what to do?  so as my kettle and toaster and other things in my kitchen are baby blue i thought i could mix a baby blue to do a feature wall at the end,

So i poured the blue in some of the white and got the most amazing turquoise color and decide to leave it at that

I painted the window wall and above the cupboards but left the rest white, its hard to describe my kitchen but its in two parts as it was originally two rooms, so doesn't look odd that i only did one room as there is an arch where they were separated. Thing is i love the colour and really want to do the whole kitchen rather than just feature walls but won't have enough and how will i ever mix the same colour again as i ran out of the blue!!!

When Paul got home he was a bit surprised (good job he loves me and understands my random creative impulses!), probably should have told him, but was just going with it and it was completely spare of the moment!

Think i will just have to get another pot of midnight blue and give it a try!!! better not tell Paul though as he is a fan of white...everywhere! and every time i paint a feature wall it takes him a while to adjust to it, he did say we could maybe try a lighter blue, and i completely agreed we would try that in a few years!!! lol. If you don't cook stay out of the kitchen! i did point out that the Star Wars dining room was not my number 1 choice. 

Anyway its really brightened it up and its nice to have a chance so sometimes its good not to plan these things x
