Money for Disney and Decorating

Sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor this morning, I looked up at the dancing fruit wall paper on my kitchen wall. H-m-m, it’s so early 90s at best, dancing fruit just hasn’t made it into this century. But still, it’s not a tragedy in my book. Showing the dancing fruit the door and redecorating my kitchen isn’t one of those - "I just have to do this or worry what the neighbors will think" - kinda thing. I don’t give a care what my next door neighbor thinks about my drab brown kitchen tiles. (Even if she seems like a very nice lady.) I could walk on icky tiles forever if it were a choice between going to the movies with my husband or redecorating my kitchen. I don't want to redo my house for the neighbors and spend my "what's life really all about anyway?" money.
I do, however, want to redo my kitchen so I can grab a cup of coffee in the morning and look down at my feet just under my PJs and think - “Oh, this floor feels nice.... the color is everything I love.... and it was a beautiful bargain.” For me, having money for a trip to Disney, movie nights (so I can get more decorating ideas) and being able to redecorate my home is just smiling completion. So, that’s what I intend to do – decorate with style that allows me and my family to go to Disney and to the movies often.
With that said - I will probably replace my dated wall paper with something perfect for most any room - paint. What color paint? Well, my colors will come from a movie classic with a timeless and sweetly romantic kitchen. More later.
