One of the "reasons" (if we needed one) for Carynn to come was to help us brighten up our living spaces in our Utah home. Yes, she brightened it just with her smile and personality, but I'm talking about another kind of brightening here--paint!
While this (meaning Utah) home was well-thought out when it was built and was also well-maintained by the previous owner, it definitely was hiding or obscuring some of it's best features under a bushel because of its lack of color. EVERYTHING is painted white. The countertops are even white laminate. The ceramic tile in the entry is white. The kitchen cabinets are also white washed, AND the outside of the house is white stucco; so we knew that we'd be adding some color. Last year's visit (nearly 2 1/2 months) went by so quickly and I was overwhelmed at the thought of painting. I think too that it's good to "live" in a space before you decide to make some changes. That way you get a feel for how light and shadows affect the space.
So last year no painting happened, but a few other "permanent" cosmetic changes (light fixtures, valances) did. Now it's time for (drum roll please) PAINTAPALOOZA!
