I always say if you love a color, why don't you marry it. We did a home remodel 5 years ago where I splashed shades of Tangerine Tango everywhere, especially on my floors. I have Devine Buffalo on my walls I have loved my colors for 5 years....but I was ready for something new. I wanted to accent my kitchen island, which attaches to a wide column that supports a gigantic TV. Yes, we are a TV family. We love movies...and sports (ok, only some of us love sports more than others, but we all love movies). Previously I had the entire enchilada disappear with Devine Gator--and it worked.
But this spring I was ready for something new. Then Tangerine Tango became all the rage and I realized I was craving more of that hot loving, blood red orange that I love. But how could that be? Wasn't it going to be too much? Is too much of a good thing bad? Sometimes it is and there is no way of knowing till you try it. So I dipped my toe and did just the column. It wasn't going to be enough for me....
And then I started on the island and my husband freaked out...STOP! He thought it would be toooo much.
He wanted to go a lighter gray, like the walls. So I second-guessed myself, for a minute. Only for a minute and indulged him in his desire...
So here are the afters. I love my new Devine Lobster Island...and now, so does he.
Thank you!!! I was such a chicken, you should have seen me! So glad I took the plunge because I knew it was the right hue for me. Every time I come down the stairs now my heart skips a beat....I need a light in the nook...any suggestions..anyone, anyone lol?
