Baby got cake!

I hate painting. It’s not the actual act of painting I dislike, but all of the trappings that come with it: the prep work, the masking, the moving of things, and the inevitable chaos that descends with the furniture/appliances pushed to the middle of the room and all the things you would normally use on a daily basis shifted somewhere else or packed into boxes. Compared to that, the painting part is a breeze.

I thought a newly painted kitchen could use some sort of kitchenwarming (paintwarming?) flair (since you can’t gift yourself), and found the perfect match in heat-transfer vinyl.

Because I’m a clever, clever individual, I forgot to take a picture before I unwrapped it, and did not quite manage to hold the label flush to the roll. I’m not sponsored by Siser, by the way; I just really like how easy their Easyweed actually is.

I found a couple of fun designs on the Silhouette design store, and started cutting!

Are they “sister designs”? Nope. Do I love them? Yes! I sing modified versions of “Baby Got Back” to the cat all the time, so this is beyond appropriate. The tea towels I used were some that I found in my crafty stash, so this was a great way to use them instead of waiting for the perfect project to come along…or maybe this was the perfect project?

And they certainly turned out to be a perfect match for the paint! I can’t say that I’m eager to start cooking again (painting the kitchen is a great excuse to not cook), but at least I can admire my handiwork while I do it.

Thanks for looking! 🙂

  1. Omgosh your kitchen cabinet color! SO CUTE! I absolutely love bright colors but I always go with neutrals with my house because I don’t trust my interior design skills, ha.

    1. I get that! Even doing a feature wall in an otherwise-neutral living room freaked me out a little bit. But here I wanted something a little cheery and not too in-your-face, and Sherwin Williams saved the day with the perfect teal.
