Brazilian Flame is the shade that I can't get enough of, from Walmart too. It has a magical feeling about it, making the room feel bigger almost. I had planned to post this photo yesterday but it took forever, my hubby got me a new camera for my birthday and the software takes longer to upload. But here you can see a little more of my kitchen and a better shot of my utensil wall ( just for you Lea). That bookcase with the curved front was left in the old house when we bought it 14 yrs. ago, it's become one of my favorites, now it houses all my cookbooks and sits across from my new little desk, perfect companions. You can also see my 2 ovens, which I will use alot, not like the dishwasher, I just can't justify using all that water to do the dishes when you have to rinse them anyway, but I am using it as a dish drainer, freeing up my counter space. And Lea, keep looking for your utensils, half the fun of that project was hunting for them in flea markets, junk shops and thrift stores, really didn't take a long time either and I think the most I paid for one was $3. Thanks to all for the kind comments, I do enjoy sharing this remodel with you all! Happy Monday!
Very nice and prim! I love your red too! My favorite is cranberry red, of course, but almost any shade of red makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your re-do!
Sue,
ReplyDeleteI love your kitchen! That color is very pretty - I would have never thought off going with that but it looks great! Maybe I'm going to be rethinking paint colors...
I love red walls, I have my diningroom in apple red, and lots of other reds throughout the house. I also love Wal-Mart paint. I have tried them all and for the price (and as often and I change the color of my walls) you can't beat it!!!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great! Always nice to have a bookcase for your books--such a nice one too! I love your cabinets too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love your utensil collection. I have one too.
ReplyDeleteI love your new kitchen Sue!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHey Sis, I was reading that the dishwasher uses less water then washing them by hand, so you might want to think twice? You red to my looks like it has some orange in it? Looks good. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue! I love it! I just bought 2 old red handled spoons at the thrift for $1 each. You're right. It is sooo fun!
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
Lea
Oh My Gosh, I absolutely love your utensil wall!
ReplyDeleteJust love your kitchen. I am not near "brave" enough to go red in my kitchen, but it looks so pretty in your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteFYI, if your dishwasher is not an older model, (say 8 years) it will use less water than hand washing dishes.
I run my dishwasher 3 times a day. I have 8 kids, therefore lots of dishes, and it is a big water saver. Just scrap the food off the plates into the trash with a scraper. Then into the dishwasher. No need to 'prewash' or rinse.
I recently just had to get a new dishwasher. It does a large load (14 place settings) with less than 10 gallons of water.
