I've been grabbing any magazine related to home decorating from work (they're free, don't worry I'm not stealing) and I came across this article about choosing paint colors from your favorite paintings. They had a Georgia O'Keefe painting, Ram's Head and Hollyhock, (she is one of my favorites) and they had pulled out this beautiful orange color. So I think I've definetly fallen in love with and decided on orange for the kitchen. I'm thinking about getting a nice large O'Keefe print to go in the kitchen too... though I haven't discussed that with Tom yet. :) But I think it's a great painting and I was thinking that the orange would be good to do like a mexican theme.... any thoughts? Other ideas? Does anybody care.. ?
This is the painting; Ram's Head and Hollyhock

Sounds so fun being able to pick everything out! I like your living room theme with the grey/blue, and I love the idea of having something vibrant in the kitchen. Save the calming colors for the living/sleeping areas I say! :)
Mexican theme in the kitchen? I never thought of you as one to go for a mexican theme. I suppose it depends on what kind of mexican. There's the tex-mex with the aquas and oranges and then bright primarys mexican. I like the idea of basing it around a painting, I really love her flowers. I am not much into dead animal skulls- but hey, that just my opinion. Over all it sounds great! Fun you get to take your time on it! I will have to hire you for my place when I get one!
This blog is amusing, I dig it. It's corny, and it rather immasculates thomas, but hey, I love it nonetheless.
