Blinds & Oranges

When you buy a house that was a bank owned property due to a contractor foreclosure you get the best deal of the century. However, the contracter took the blinds out of my house before he turned the keys in to the bank. Therefore we have been spending money on boring, but necessary purchases for our house:

• First we put in an alarm system [to keep us safe]
• Then we built a privacy fence [to keep Captain Jack safe]
• And finally we got blinds installed [for privacy...duh]

Because the alarm system and fence are so not worthy of pictures [and completely boring], here is the difference blinds made in the kitchen....

AFTER!

Formal [and empty] dining room....

AFTER!

And I got distracted by my green kitchen, white plates and orange oranges....

I need to start looking for a couple more [permanent] orange colored accent pieces... Those oranges won't last for long.

I love these colors because they are young, fun and vibrant. The kitchen should be a happy place.
