Aqua It Is

Remember this guy?


I decided to go with aqua instead of white. Now before anybody says it, yes, I got rid of the table and chairs in the breakfast nook. It was too crowded. We never sat there. I needed more storage in a big way. Plus, I just wanted to paint something. :)



But wait! An empty breakfast nook with a shelf on one side and a buffet on the other? I know, it makes no sense. But it's prettier to look at, trust me. Even better, we have a place to serve food.
Or stack laundry, or bottles. The best thing is the storage underneath.


Plus, now there's a cute globe in the kitchen.



See? I told you it was a good distraction. Plus the red knobs are my favorite. Although, when Jane gets bigger and we go on our baby-proof-athon those bottom knobs will have to come off so she can't pilfer the china.



Happy buffet. Happy aqua. Happy kitchen. Happy me.


Project Details:


*Knobs: Anthropologie knock-offs found at Hobby Lobby. Check it out, they have a lot of cool ones.


*Paint Color: Sherwin Williams Waterfall. I warn you, it looks different depending on the lighting. (No voc for baby.)


*Buffet: Local antique mall (Midtown) on sale for $200. But I sold the table and chairs, so this project was basically free (my favorite kind).
