I’m Keeping the Red…I think???

After much thought and anticipation of what I am going to do with all the red in my house, the verdict is in…I am keeping the RED…… at least for now!

Here is how I came to my decision.

As I journeyed my way through blog land, I started falling in LOVE with all the different Rooms of blue and green, combinations with a touch of yellow or khaki

How could you not, It all looks so soft and comfortable…swoon!!

At that point, I decided to out the red 100% and start a new!!

Well…. I started to have some anxiety over the transformation!!!

I’ve lied awake at night (my time for inspiration) trying to come up with a game plan.

Night after night I thought of what direction I wanted to go. But nothing ever seemed right. My ideas were just not falling into place!

I struggled with not knowing how to X the red and replace it with blue.

And then I realized, if I painted over our red Kitchen walls, then I wold have to Change EVERYTHING in my house. Curtains, frames, pillows, flowers etc, etc!!!

if you can imagine, I started to get a bit overwhelmed

So, I decided to take a step back and take a different look at things.

This is what I decided…. I LOVE Red, I really do!!!

But, I have noticed a trend going on in the other parts of our home….

Without even realizing it, I have decorated most of my rooms without red.

For example:

The Master bedroom.. (yellow and green) The nursery…(green and blue) The hall bathroom.. (black and green) The Downstairs bathroom (yellow and green) and girly room is now (blue and Pink)… pictures to come 🙂

Here is my Kitchen currently, I like how the white cabinets balance the red paint.

And here is the Front Room

Why I’ve had such a struggle with this decision is because…I Love, Love, LOVE blue.

I have some blue in our home, and I just LOVE how I feel when I’m in those rooms!

But, I still really like the color RED!
I Suppose it’s very much me, and lets be honest… I have got to be true to who I am.

Before I change anything, I need to be truly inspired and see the whole room clearly in my mind before I do anything. I don’t want to spend money and waste my time on something I don’t REALLY love.

Soooo, Red might not be the MOST popular color right now,

But…I figure as long as I LOVE it, that’s all that matters, RIGHT?

So, I am keeping the red, BUT…. Improving upon it!

Here are my plans:

-Reupholster my front living room chairs

-Get some REALLY great pillows for my couch

-Change the curtains in the front Room and Kitchen

-Repaint my living room

-Get a New family room and Kitchen rug

Soooo… Red is here to stay, at least for now!!

BUT…the again if you know me well, you’ll know that I do change my mind at times.

Hummm?? This post has got me questioning again… Ahhh!

I just might have to lose more sleep over this one,

I will let you know how I feel tomorrow!! (wink)
