Ok, so people have been commenting about the fact that it is oh, so surprising that I have a red kitchen. Just to let everyone know, it was actually Ted’s idea. I would never have suggested it (even though I would have wanted it with all my heart) because I didn’t want to see Ted’s head explode.

He had once to listen to me (a long time ago) crying, sitting on the floor of my bedroom in the basement that I had just painted this horrible pinky maroon color, that had to be the most depressing color ever, that ‘I would never in my life like light colors’. He had kindly suggested that maybe the room was a little dark for a basement - rightly so - and I freaked out on him. Poor guy. Anyone who knows me, knows that I can be a little, well, over dramatic at times… Ted now brings up this ridiculous comment anytime I suggest, well any paint color really. The whole point of that story was that when we were trying to figure out what color to paint our kitchen that was white, black, stainless with red accents, I wanted to suggest red but thought he wouldn’t go for it, but he came up with it himself. I’ve converted him… hehe.

I will let you know though, that I did learn to like light colors, our whole house is not going to be red and black, I promise!
