New Curtains and Some Art

I have been busy changing the colors of my kitchen.

Since Day 1 it has been gray, black and white with

bright brass drawer pulls and accessories. I changed

out the pulls with a stainless look and painted over

some of the brass (I know, it is not permanent). 

This last week I have been making lined valances 

for two sets of windows and the patio door, which

also has canvas roll up shades that I made.

I worked on my canvas wall hanging in class last

Saturday. When I got home I could not stand the

color of the foliage. This is supposed to be a class

project, but I couldn't let another week go by and

have to look at those awful bright kelly green leaves.

So today I got out the acrylic paints and darkened

them. I think they still need work but they are much

better now. I haven't done the background yet but

I am thinking of a pale blue green and pick up the

colors in the flower to blend in.

This is my entry for Paint Party Friday.
