Adventure through the Kitchen!

This Kelly Moore's "Peeled Pistachio" color totally upset my appetite... with the first attempt.

Finally the color I want for the kitchen soffit.

Yes, I definitely agree with my contractor that green is the toughest color to paint for any home. So I start looking for inspiration from our counter top, kitchen appliances, home decoration,.. and then I found HONEY. Oh, no, I mean, the sticker on top of the honey jar which is exactly the green color I dreamed for my kitchen. I think we nailed it!! What do you say?!!

We had to custom mix this green color from Home depo. The color come out very close but it gets darken a little after we painted it on the soffit.

Another inspiration of green color.

As oppose to kitchen's big white cabinet, the family room has one wall of strong "Dior Gray" paint from Benjamin Moore. 

My little blog reader, Anna, who joked that since this "Dior Gray" sounded so couture, why not name the neon green "Balenciaga Green"!! {Of course, why not?!} Then I might as well name the kitchen soffit green, "Proenza Schouler Sage Green", how does that sound to you? 



Be adventurous!!

Make a Wish w/ Russia Babushka doll!!

My friend, Michelle asked me about my opinion of Chanel Babushka doll's necklace once and I said "Not worth getting it"!! Now I am not so sure if I would say the same thing to this adorable babushka doll clutch!! lol However, even I want to find it, this doll clutch is probably long gone by now!! I have a real Russia Babushka doll made in Russia which is a gift from 10 years ago! I couldn't find the same one in USA since this set of 15 nesting dolls are truly intricate!! This is the biggest one which has the most exquisite engraving. Total 15 of them! (2 are missing from the pic.) I heard that you can make a wish w/ these nesting dolls. If your wish comes true, you can open one until all 15 are all open!! I never made any wish w/ them, guess I was too realistic of a person myself. I don't know if each engraved temple/castle on the dolls represents something. You can't open the smallest one which is only the size of the little finger nail. I adore those golde
