Legally Blonde's Proceedings

While I would like to make some substantive changes to my kitchen (backsplash, counter tops, floors), I do not currently have the budget for such changes.  Over the past year, I made some small changes to the kitchen that were a little more budget friendly, but still give a little update to the room. I bought these chairs from Craigslist about a year ago.  I didn't get around to painting them until January.  Then I recovered them in this peacock blue velvet. I also did away with the yellow painted walls, and just painted them cream.  This is not my dream color for the walls, but in working with backspash color, etc., it works.  Also, it is the same color as the lower part of the walls (below the chair rail) in my dining room, so it's a nice tie in.  The color is from Benjamin Moore and it's called Mayonnaise . I also got some new art for the space. I got this pear print with a mirrored frame at Canton Trade Days I ordered this ...

The chandelier is finally hanging in my bathroom.  The electricians were here from 7-11 this morning.  They were very nice and very afraid of Lola.  She's such a mess.  She's just plain mean to people when they are here working on the house.  I'm pretty pleased with it, even if it did end up costing more than I thought... Again, please ignore my mess.  Tuesdays are my crazy days, and then with the electrician coming at 7 this morning, well it's a mess. I had it put on a dimmer, so in theory, I could enjoy a nice soak in the tub with the lights down low. If you know me well, then you know that's never going to happen.  I don't think I've ever spent more than 4 minutes in a tub in my life.  I get a little antsy.  But I always like having the option! So what I'm going to call Phase 4 of the Bathroom Remodel is completed. Again, I'm still unsure how many phases there are.
