Contain Yourself This Summer

Do you, like me, get an itch to reorganize and freshen things up when you are stuck inside?

This past week, during some thunderstorm-y afternoons, I got out the paintbrush, rolled up my sleeves, and did something I've been planning to do for over a YEAR in my kitchen!

Prior to this, we had a cacophony of color in the kitchen, and I needed to quiet it down. This was accomplished in two ways: First, I painted this piece plus other things in the kitchen the same soft green/gray color. Second, the disarray of the contents was tamed by putting the food into pretty French jars.

So useful AND beautiful, which you know is close to my heart!

The whole kitchen has a teensy way to go before I share the rest of it, but it sure feels good to have this little corner spiffed up. It brings me joy and makes everyday life simply more beautiful!

Have you done any fun "done-in-a-day" projects this summer? I'd love to hear! Email me at amy@thehareandthehart.com and let me know!
