Hi friends.  Can you believe how long it has taken me to update you with pictures of my kitchen?  I KNOW!  But with all of the Bloggy Giveaways going on, I thought, eh, everyone’s too busy to read my blog right now, anyway.  That should buy me a little extra time.

But then tonight I realized I hadn’t posted in over 48 hours and I start to twitch.

And then I realized I need a life.

It’s okay, I admit it.

So, here are some pictures of the finished product of my kitchen.  I actually had a good time painting.  I’m not sure good time and painting have ever been in the same sentence before, at least not without the words “GLASSES OF WINE” fit in there somewhere, but it was fun.  How much do I love the finished product?

Oh, I LOVE.  So does Brian, which says a lot because he doesn’t notice much.  One time, I completely rearranged the furniture in the living room and it took him HOURS to notice.  No wait, he never noticed, I had to point it out to him.

But he does notice when I have a new bra on.  With a shirt on over my new bra.  The man has priorities.

Anyway, here are the pictures.  I have to tell you that I have grown to hate flash so much that I took these pictures at night without a flash.  Which is why they are dark.  And blurry.  But they show you the mood of the room and that’s all that matters, right?

Also, this is not a paid advertisement, but I must tell you that I used Sherwin Williams paint.  I typically pay $28 for paint, Sherwin Williams, from what I understand, it’s quite pricey, much more than my typical $28.  My kitchen is huge, I admit it.  Would you believe I only used 3/4 of a can of paint?  And the lid?  It twists like a peanut butter jar.  And the pour spout?  It has one.  GENIUS.  I will never buy another brand of paint again.  Unless I find out it’s like $100 a can…I won’t do $100 a can, I don’t care how nice your spout is.

This is my fridge, yes, it is always covered in paper and there’s the door to my laundry room on the right and that’s my purse.  The door to the left leads to the secret library where we keep all of our prized artwork and jewels.  or it’s the pantry.  Where we keep Fiber One bars and Doritos.  Whatever.

Are you feeling the color, yet?

No, it’s not YELLOW, it’s unrestrained gold.

You’re not really interested in that gold thing on the island?  More pictures of the walls?  I see.  Awfully demanding, aren’t we?

This is my center of chaos that I try to organize every single day but it never works because ALL OF THE SCHOOL PAPERS THAT COME HOME FROM TWO DIFFERENT SCHOOLS.  Oh my heavens, my children are only four and five.  Shouldn’t they be doing more work on the computer or something?   Is paper even necessary?  I mean, really?  The kleenex (Puffs) is there for when I cry from all of the papers and from our calendar filling up faster than I can keep up.  But hey, I know, I only have two kids.  And no, I can’t imagine having five or six.

Yes, it’s blurry.  But that’s okay.  This is where we eat dinner.  Are you bored, yet?  No?  Okay, two more picture after this blurry one and I even used flash for you.

So, what do you think?  It’s beautiful, right?

RIGHT?!?!?!
