thumbs up
Name: Becky
Location: Chicago, Illinois
Type of Home: Loft
Color Inspiration: I was inspired by the natural light of my space, and 7 years of "renter's white." My partner was not thrilled with the idea of a bold, bright kitchen, but things worked out--we host a lot of visitors and get a lot of compliments!
Give Becky a THUMBS UP if you think this room belongs in the finals!
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
Colors Used:
Teal: "Cozumel" Behr
Orange: "Orange Burst" Behr
Green: "Honeydew" Behr
Yellow: "Pineapple Soda" Behr
Color Tip:
-be meticulous with your edges, because the initial pain stinks, but your space will be beautiful instead of a sloppy mess.
-i know my colors are pretty bold, but i took advantage of the fact i dont have a ton of walls to paint. our place is mostly cement and windows, so we went out a limb. our space needed a punch!

LOVE all the plants. And is that an orange Kitchenaide I see? I have my kitchen done in a similar teal also with the orange mixer, it's such a fun combo! Bravo on having the courage to go with such vivid colors.

I'd never leave the kitchen, except to go to the living room and then back again.

LOVE IT. Becky is my plant girl and I new she would use paint at her place, she painted her childhood bedroom radioactive yellow!!! We had to wear sunglasses in there.
Nice artwork Camm. I also like the plates, a few family heirlooms and some new ones too.

You have always been a colorful person. The colors you chose let your friends & family in on some of the colors that help to shape your personality & your life. Very much refreshing & alive.
The placement of your plants lend themselves to a fresh & healthy atmosphere. Pleasant to view!
Your art work and family treasures give the loft that
"home-y", rich, loving touch.
You did good, Becky!!!
