Making it your own
What am I talking about? My house. Three people live here, though I own it. Myself, Brent (whom I am in a relationship with) and our friend James. We all live here, and you can tell that it’s a combo of the three of us here. I like that. In our dining room, we have a candle table that is nicely done, and there are pictures of all of us on it. It’s nice.
But I really wanted to personalize the room where I spend most of my time…..the kitchen. I talked to the guys and they don’t care. In truth, I think that they don’t mind because if I like it, I’ll spend even more time there- thus, they benefit from it. So, the process started awhile back with a vision of a kithen with white walls, red cupboard doors, and black and white floor, and mainly black accents. Maybe a 50ish look to it. Anything come to mind? Betty Boop! She’s my hereo. I have a ton of collectibles and nowhere to really put them (since I am not sure Brent would love it in our bedroom).
My vision is turning into a reality. The floor tiles are here, the paint has been priced, and we are down to 2 shades of red- and there are samples hanging on the wall. I’m excited to make it mine.
I get to do whatever I want in my kitchen, and it just turns out that it’s going to be cute as heck. This is my project to be completely done by spring- floor, walls and everything inbewteen. That way when Spring comes aorund, I can move to the outside. (Where I already have a list of things to do to make it mine. 
)
I encourage you to find something to make yours this winter. Changing curtains and other accents in a room can completely change the look of any room. Get a project and make something yours!
