Let's Play Pretend

Remember how I said I change my mind?  Well... Let's pretend Bryan would go for a gray, white and lime green kitchen scheme... 

Inspiration:

Yes a shoe of course, where else could I find this fabulous color combination?!?! The gray would be the wall paper or wall stencil.  I can't decide if I have the patience to try the wall stencil - but I think I do.... again want to go with this type of pattern on the wall:

And then maybe paint the kitchen table gray instead of yellow... I feel like I might get more play out of my table for all the season rather than a spring/summer table....

and then the pop of color where I am about 100% sure Mr. Vargas will veto me on, till I override his veto:

And by the way, I did finally get the staple gun out of the garage and finished the cushion cover with the drop cloth... I kind of want to steal this idea and paint numbers on the cushions in my own special way:

And when am I going to accomplish all of this?  Well tomorrow is "Date Day" where we send Emily off to daycare and B and I take the day off to hang with each other, go to all the big kid stores by ourselves and enjoy dreaming without chasing a two year old who "loooooves" everything.

I think we might try and tackle sanding down all our cabinet doors and boxes tomorrow. Who knows we might even get crazy and try to prime them...it really all depends on how enthusiastic Bryan is tomorrow...

However, I do have my friends from out of state visiting in about 10 days. They are coming to see me and to see all my projects... visitors tend to be a great motivator for Mr. Vargas... and to have pretty much a whole day to knock a lot of this off our plate is huge... then we have the weekend...

And now that I say all this - I am slightly freaking out.  But then I have to remember I don't have that many cabinets (one of the many reasons I currently hate my kitchen) and to take it one step at a time... 

We totally got this (believe me I know I am lying to myself). 

Our Date Days are soooo romantic I know.
