I finally took my Master Gardener training, and also get to cook, bake, craft, read, anytime I want! Yes, by all means you need to frame your own photos. I actually have a lot of them on the walls. I learned my lesson by purchasing a photo of my favorite beach, then I ended up liking my own photos better. Go for it!

I've seen pins on Pinterest about techniques to make them come out professional looking, so I think it would work out. He followed my Pinterest advice one other time about painting an oak vanity with gel stain, and it came out fantastic!

I remember our builder didn't like some of my ideas (door knobs, light fixtures, etc), but now, everyone likes those features because they are fun. Your space looks very personal and unique! Love colorful mugs, pillows and your own framed photographs.

My kitchen cabinets are white, and so are the walls, except for one that is heart pine.

It is YOUR house and we all decorate to please ourselves and those who live there, not for anyone else. As long as you and your husband are happy with how the house looks, that's all that counts. I think your kitchen cabinets painted white would be perfect with the green walls. I'd love to paint mine white, as well but I'm horrible at that sort of thing, so I don't dare even attempt it. Wish I could afford to have them professionally re-done! Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.com
