Painting the Kitchen + Full Kitchen Tour
This was a long time coming!
Ever since we moved in here in March 2018, both my mom and I have hated this accent wall in the kitchen. It was so busy! Yes, by all means, it didn’t have many garish colors, but even in only black and white, that was a lot of pattern. Okay, the pattern of these flowers wasn’t ugly in itself, it is pretty, like an ink drawing, but it is a lot when it’s on an entire wall.
It’s just much too busy! I mean, I’m a Maximalist! I have a lot of stuff, I have a lot of pretty, old, things that I want to display, and that part is not going to change, and so the background has to.
Look at all the old kitchen stuff that I put up here! You can almost not see these objects, because the wallpaper drowns them out. I love the look of a large number of knickknacks, but this is tiring on the eyes, even for me!
We really wanted to get rid of it, but the first years it wasn’t a priority. There was so much else that we wanted to fix and decorate in the apartment first, and then time just slipped away, I guess, as it tends to do, but now… we finally did it! :-)

Again, a super long, big and image heavy post, but yeah, creatively speaking, a lot has happened in this home this year, and I have just had so much to document :-)
I’m still hurting and I’m still tired after this makeover, but it was worth it. I’m so happy with how all this turned out :-)
