Vibrant Nation

Thanks this is so very interesting. I have red walls in my kichen with black appliances. My kitchen is very open, the breakfast knook is the most walls, this leads into my grand room with one hunter green wall and two brown walls.

Thanks for sharing on my day of gratitude I guess one more thing to be grateful is friends on the Internet.

My kitchen is open also with my study room to the right  with the double french door view of my blue wall outside in my private meditation garden (PMG) directly across is the breakfast and family entertainment room..a soft buttery white  with great red area carpets with designs that have golds greens and beige..... black border,,splashes of red through the two rooms 

Ummm I like the sound of your decorating....GREAT COLORS!!!

Thanks now let me get back to my DECLUTTERING other room where the color is CLUTTER!!

tHEN I CAN SEE THE COLOR COMBINATION IN THERE........

Sounds really pretty, I love bright colors, makes me feel alive and ready to go!

Thanks it does make me feel good,

My kitchen has red in it as well( my husb. laughed when I said I was making it red!). I always have a red carnation in a little glass vase by the kitchen sink, a red mat in front of the cupbd. under the sink, red & white oven mitts hanging up, a red doily on one of the cupbd. counters and a red dream catcher hanging on our kitchen bulletin bd. A girlfriend just gave me a red & white tea towel and an all red towel to hang on the oven door. Our cupbd. are ivory coloured, as are our oven, fridge with white microwave & dishwasher. Subtle, I think, but no doubt a red kitchen! Most of my clothes are red, black & white or combo, to go with my black/greyish hair!

It sounds very pretty and comfortably cozy....

You seem to have style all around you , good for you .

Thank you. It is a vibrant colour to me, sort of like my personality, my mind always full of new ideas,  and my love for God. It's been a journey in life, but is so bright a colour and seems like the end result of going through dark times, etc. At times, I have tried to go towards a light blue, which seems a calmer colour and is nice, but just not for me, at this time! Maybe some day!

I have found colors change in our lives as we go through things and they give us what we need ....when my mother was alive ...she lived in a house that had great turquoise blue floors in the kitchen, she didn't;t know what to do with them, it was not her house to spend lots of money changing them out so , I thought about her age and how sometimes we need a Lift in the morning...so I painted her walls a cream yellow and used wallpaper on one wall over the table and over the fur downs above the cabinets...It was the wildest modern splash colors of abstract fruit in Red blues yellows and that exact floor color.

I could not have stood that much color at that time in my life with three young kids I had color (lol) but mother loved it!!! she smiled and told every day she got up her kitchen said GOOD MORNING and put a smile on her face....that made so happy to see her enjoy her kitchen as we are "kitchen women" in my family...love the kitchen .

Fayette....I am a kitchen person too...we partially redid our kitchen (we live in a home built in the 1800's)...so I kept some of the old cupboards because of their height and character, but we did the rest in sunny yellows, with a burgundy (like burgundy wine) countertop and white tile backsplash and sink....I know yellow and burgundy sound kind of weird, but they are just the right tones, it gets the early morning light from the sunrise and just walking int o get my coffee in the a.m. makes me smile every time....I just love to cook in there.....especially in the Winter when it gets dark so early, I have sunshine all year long in my kitchen...

That sounds so great.... I have red cabinets  and white subway tile back splash and getting ready to install a large tile Black and cream check on the diagonal.

Love white dishes and have a collection of white ceramic teapot and coffee pots

across from the kitchen is where I love  to drink my coffee in the morning and

meditate or write my prayers in poetry.

Yay, , Turquoise floors!!=]

Was going through a very dark time in my life and needed some thing to get me to see the lighter side. Red to me is such a brillant alive color, so when I open my eyes every morning and see that color I feel alive and ready to get my day off to a great start. The rest of my house is in chocolate browns and hunter green. The only calm color I have is in my dinning room, it's a mint green, my company really enjoys their dinner in that calming color.

Interesting - our one bathroom is light coloured walls with hunter green towels, etc., our tv room carpet is green as well. The rest of our walls are a lightish blue with beige/choc. brown carpet in liv. room. We have most of the same colours! I like the red accessorized kitchen, as I love to cook( was even doing it at 10:00 last night) and feel very much alive when I do. Take care.
