To Paint, or No?

I *love* painted wood! If I recall correctly, which most of the time I don't, my dad hates painting wood. So for all of you wood-loving-paint-haters I want to give you a heads up: I WILL be painting the wood in our house. Yes. I will. Yes, that does include this:


Okay, everyone take a breath.


*inhale*


*exhale*


Moving on. My sister-in-law sent me this link for a cute kitchen floor idea.



Checked floor! Very fun and vintage. I had already contemplated the idea of painting our porch floor when we build it. I have also contemplated painting one of the "kid" bedroom floors (I haven't told My Honeypie yet, all of my 'awesome' ideas are sometimes a bit overwhelming)--but painting the kitchen floor didn't occur to me yet. Maybe it would make it extra fabulous with the high ceiling, library ladder, and chandelier(s?).


I'm kinda liking these:

How totally cool would it be to have a version of the above picture, but with like, "I Spy" things in it? Like little birds and feathers and raindrops and flowers and hourglasses and rainbows and little unicorns???! See, these are my awesome ideas I try to keep to myself because I think My Honeypie's would stare at me and say something sweet like, "That sounds great, but we don't have any walls yet..." and then I'm like, "Oh yeah, well just remember it."
Look how blue!

Not a fan of concrete floors, but I love the design on this one:



and it would look just as lovely on a wood floor!


So...the question is this: to paint the floor, or no??

Sing Us a Song

You're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us all feelin' all right


-Billy Joel


Such a lovely song...and such a lovely surprise:

Yes!! That's right. I got a piano. For FREE. Now the person who gave it to me really doesn't want me to paint it, but it was my intention to have a painted piano all along. Now the question is: what color? I can't really do yellow even though I would *love* to do yellow, but I already decided that YELLOW is the color we are going to paint the well pump outside. I have several ideas posted here. I am also thinking of adding some pretty wood appliques like these:

I think so!
