House of SU! Color -- Kitchen

...and last but not least....from the House of SU! Color!!! "The Kitchen"

I just love the way this turned out with the colors and all - it looks soo bright and cheerful! This is SU! Barely Banana ~

Once we hung the plate rack it looked a little bare so I thought it would be a perfect spot for more wall words ;o) "FAMILY God's Greatest Gift" was the saying Mom chose. Using my Cricut Expressions again I cut out FAMILY in a cranberry color using the Disney font in 5" letters. Then I used Stone Script at 3" for the overlay which is done in black.


This overall pic didnt turn out the best and I apologize -- It's really the barely banana wall color there!! I used the Stone Script cartridge here too - and I didnt write down the size of it like I thought I did but I am thinking it was 6" letters.

So there is the tour of the house that I had the privilege of choosing the colors and painting it this past winter while Mom and Dad were gone -- they had no idea of the colors I had chosen until they got home and walked in! If you would like to take a look back at the other posts showing the pictures and descriptions from the other rooms you can just click on the tag or label for this post featured below the post - that will take you right to em'!

House of SU! Color -- Craft/Laundry Room

Finally!..huh? I've had this fun project done for a while but just didnt remember to grab the camera when I went to Mom and Dad's house -- so I made it a point this week ;o)

This is Mom's Craft/Laundry room - I thought it would be fun to add this little saying above the doors to the washer and dryer ;o)

I used my Cricut Expressions machine, Cuttin' Up cartridge set on the 'holy cow' font along with hot pink vinyl for the letters! The color of the wall is Stampin' UP! Almost Amethyst and Pink Passion along with Chocolate Chip (the other wall) goes very well with it according to the SU Color Coach!

As you may rememer from this post awhile back, the other saying in this room is "Imagination is the highest kite one can fly" - that is on the chocolate chip all in this room ~

House of SU! Color -- Master Bedroom

So yer' gonna either love it or hate it! lol The visitors to my parents house have either loved it or really wonder if I went off my rocker! *hehe*

The color combo came right off the SU! color wheel and I thought it would make a really rich, elegant looking master bedroom with the white chair rail separating the two colors, the white windows and white closet doors.

Here it tis' -- Elegant Eggplant and Old Olive

And we tried to find some accent pillows for the bed that had the dark rich colors as well! I think we accomplished that too!

Mom and Dad love it so thats all that counts ;o)

House of SU! Color -- CC Guest Room

or what we call the Certainly Celery guest room! lol We were calling it the 'green room' but you know, it just didnt do it justice! It is 'more than green'! lol kwim? So now we call it the 'CC' room for short!

Incase you have not been following the posts from this week - this is at my parents house (see earlier posts for all the deets) -- it's such an inviting room done in Certainly Celery and white. I would think it would certainly feel inviting to all who would stay!

The above shot is from the doorway entering the room --

This is standing in the same place as the first photo but this is what you see when you first walk in the room - or as you walk by the room in the hallway. This bench is a family heirloom from my Dad's Aunt and my Great Aunt. The picture hanging above the bench is one that I actually took years ago at my Aunts decor store. I ended up using it for 4-H project at the fair and earned a blue ribbon from what I remember.

Here is a zoom in to the bench -- this little girl was just screaming to hold something! So I chose to use one of my Mom's china tea cups -- it worked ;o)

And last but 'certainly' not least -- here is a picture of the INSIDE of the cc closet -- the guests still have room to hang their clothes but they might as well look at a pleasant view in there too right? This is a cedar chest that has a silk floral display on top. Also on display is an antique china faced doll that I always remember being in my parents room growing up ~ ~ ~

House of SU! Color -- Bathroom

Here is the bathroom -- I used Barely Banana as the color in here and the towels and bath mat are like a Certainly Celery color -- it looks soo bright and inviting. The little picture hanging on the wall is original art that my Mom's Aunt made for her years ago so it has some wonderful sentimental value too ;o)

House of SU! Color -- Living Room

More to show you of the SU! painted walls that I have done in my parents home ;o)

This is standing in the kitchen looking into the livingroom -- my Dad's roll top desk is in the background there up against the Bravo Burgundy wall -- the opposite walls are done in a tan color - the wall behind the grandfather clock is the tan but its hard to tell in this picture...

The below picture shows a close up pic of the far livingroom bravo burg wall -- I added some texture to it ;o) Soo much fun and soo easy!!

House of SU! Color -- Craft Room Wall Saying

Hello Everyone!!

As promised to you long ago -- I have taken pics of my parents house after painting each and every wall inside! We have most of their stuff moved in but we are still waiting on the new kitchen cupboards so they are using the craft/laundy room as their make-shift kitchen right now ;o) lol

So I will start out by sharing with you tonight the inspirational saying on Mom's craft room wall -- Its a chocolate chip wall and white vinyl letters --

I used my Cricut Expressions with the Holy Cow setting from the Cuttin Up cartridge. Let me know if you have any specific questions ~ I'd be happy to answer them ;o)

Looking at this picture now I may go back and move the 'one can fly' over a bit to the left to make it a bit more centered. These vinyl letters are so much fun and easy to work with!!

Also, just to share a little background with you on this entire project -- My parents and my brother and his family have 'swapped' houses -- my brother and his family moved to the farm, where we grew up, and my parents moved into town to his house. So as soon as our parents headed south last winter my brother started to do the remodels at the farm house that they wanted to make. That way they could work on the remodel but not 'live' in it at the same time! So once they moved out to the farm my DH and I went in to the 'town house' and started the remodels that Mom and Dad wanted to do there. We ripped out all of the trim and doors from the entire house to replace it with white trim and white doors -- that went with all of the new white vinyl windows they had picked out ;o) THEN I started painting! Mom and I had talked colors and then Mom decided that she just wanted to be 'surprised' when they returned home from wintering in the South. So I chose the colors using the SU! Color Wheel. Neither Mom or Dad had any idea what colors they would see until they walked in when they were done! It was FUN!
