My sister has a home
in the country that I love.
The walls and ceilings are beautiful
and are made of the good stuff,
real solid wood.
In the kitchen renovation. they
painted the dining room red.

Have you ever tried to paint red over white???
I can't tell you how many coats
of paint they tried before
getting the right color.

It turned out GREAT
and went well with the black and white floors.

My sister loves primitives.
They found the pie safe beside the road.
I would have painted it!
She wouldn't dare.
Some of the pieces have been added,
but the wood is old and original.

The chicken print and frame are over 100 years old.
It was my BIL's great grandmother's.
My sister is crazy about throwing things away.
She agreed that the chicken stays.

I just added some of her old pieces.
As I say, a little of this and little of that.

This is one of our mama's pitcher and bowls
from her collection.
I love it against the red.
I think we found the perfect spot.

ReplyDeleteLove the red wall. My husband came home from work one day and found that I had painted the kitchen wall a pumpkin color. He about had a cow. (giggling over that one)--I love color!! ANYWAYS--she is one lucky girl to have found that cabinet! Blessings
ReplyDeleteMy hairdresser did her kitchen in red. She has good design sense. I might like a small accent wall in it but blues and greens are more my color. I like your pics and their wall looks great!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter painted her kitchen red. She had white cabinets and it looked really cute.
ReplyDeleteI love that pie safe - what a great thing to find!
I just love the red wall, so pretty! And the family photo is too precious!
ReplyDeleteWow Bonnie! I have to agree I loe the red walls and the white pitcher.. Of course, I love anything red.... My laptop has been on the fritz.. so I have been mia.. I miss all my blog sisters.. Your Sisters home is just lovely and she is blessed to have you.. Hope all is well. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteBonnie...I love red walls in a kitchen or dining room...I have red walls too but not cool bead board like that. And the pie safe is to die for...love it! However, I do feel a little sorry for that poor chicken in the picture...lol!
ReplyDeleteYour sister has good tastes. The walls in my hallway are red with bright white trim. The living room / dining room is hunter green also with bright white trim. It's quite festive. I like color too. I decorated with LOTS of bird statues, bird houses, sunflowers, etc. I like nature.
ReplyDeleteGreat family photo. Such sweet smiles and happy faces. ~:)
Your sisters pie safe and red wall are gorgeous. I KNOW how many coats of red paint it takes. We painted my daughter's room red years ago. Great photo!
ReplyDeleteI love your Sisters primitive collections. That pie safe was a great find!!
