repainting the island

With a fair amount of free time on my hands,
but very limited access to supply,
in other words Quarantine,
I have been working on a couple home projects,
like painting the kitchen island!


Isn't just a lovely blue?!
It is the same blue (in the midnight hour by Benjamin Moore)
that I used on the library (leftover paints are the best!)


And since the kitchen is on the opposite to this wall,
I thought it would be a great accent!

I was also inspired by Cristina of Remodelando La Casa

My island already underwent a lot of transformations
over the years, from plain stained plywood, to "station wagon"


to white to finally blue

As I previously mentioned I had already repainted the kitchen blue,
palladian blue by Benjamin Moore


My sister thinks I am going through my Blue period!
It has always been one of my favorite colors...


the kitchen is a little bit messy, we do live here and it is quarantine time,
so not too bad.

One thing I would like to update is the countertop of the island,
I thought about it during the ORC baking corner (more than 3 years ago!)
I would like a lighter countertop and reuse the black granite
for the baking corner that still has its temporary butcher block...
but that will have to wait longer!

In the meantime,
here is a picture of my first Lily of the Valley:

(and Bosco)

After years of tries and failures, they are in bloom,
last year, there were only leaves....
