It has become my favorite combination. I don't have it in my home because my house is small and mainly open floor plan and the colors of the living room, family room and kitchen must somewhat coordinate because they all connect. Currently those colors are very autumn-like, which is my favorite season...yellows, mustards, reds and sage greens. I dream of a red and aqua kitchen one day. I like how you have it here in a more toned down way. Love, love, love it.<br /><br />Love the idea of pear trees down your neighborhood too. I look forward to more visits. Come listen to the ocean whenever you like. ;) Although next week I'll be playing Christmas music for my White Christmas in July blog party. I hope you can join us.<br /><br />Much love!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229766406881382571.post-10734859769541990442011-07-17T10:40:03.586-05:002011-07-17T10:40:03.586-05:00Found you today through the comments on Kate/Lucy&...Found you today through the comments on Kate/Lucy's blog.

It covered up the pink quite nicely but if you are looking for a paint job that will hold up long term I would definitely recommend using something stronger like Kilz's Clean Start which is also Zero VOC. The paint I used was Simply White a Benjamin Moore color that we had mixed in Olympic's Zero VOC paint. The hardware was bought at Lowe's.<br />Hope that helps :).<br /><br />July 12, 2011 12:41 PMJedbel @ The Pear Tree Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512397685714010182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229766406881382571.post-91717841069864812452011-07-16T13:20:06.490-05:002011-07-16T13:20:06.490-05:00Your kitchen is very warm and inviting now...and I...Your kitchen is very warm and inviting now...and I love that quote so much.
