Click on this link to my sis’s wedding photographer’s blog. You’ll need to scroll down to the Janet & Rick entry. She wrote a nice little excerpt about their big day and posted a few photos.
I’ve seen a lot of wedding pics and I must say these are some of the best wedding photos I’ve ever seen. She’s truly a master at her craft. Amanda Bevington photography rocks!

A Tale of Two Blues
Sapphireberry
Spanish Bluebell
This is one of those things that’s better to see in person. Trying to take a pic of this is a bit of a challenge. What you’re looking at above is two pics of two different blue paints. Trust me.
As you know, we’re busy giving the kitchen a makeover. The old kitchen color on the walls was in desperate need of updating. So hubby and I both agreed that we wanted to paint the kitchen blue to go along with our Cottage Living theme. We took a trip to Home Depot and probably after an hour discussion, talking about all of the different hues and tones of blue, we decided the color on the walls was going to be…Sapphireberry. We were very excited to get home and put it on the walls. Two coats and 24 hours later, there was a bit of mixed emotions on what we thought was our perfect blue. Hubby hated it. To quote him, he said, “this looks like something you would put in a kids room. Too baby/sky blue.” Me, on the other hand, I didn’t think it looked bad at all. I loved the pop it had against our newly made over white kitchen cabinets.
But after what seemed liked a days worth of discussion, we decided that because of our open floor plan, color scheme for downstairs, and the foyer tile, we needed a blue with a gray undertone. Sapphireberry had a yellow tone to it. So back to Home Depot we went. Carefully examining and discussing all of the blues with gray tones, we decided the the new choice was going to be… Spanish Bluebell.
Hubby put the paint on the walls, we waited, and much to both of our delight, we LOVED it!!! I must say, he was right on this. All of those art classes he took and hours of discussion over the color wheel paid off and we found our perfect kitchen blue. Yay!!!! Thank you also to Ralph Lauren for creating Spanish Bluebell. I’m so glad we found you. And, I’m really glad that we didn’t have to talk anymore about blue. Like, I’m pretty sure my readers are about done reading this lengthy tale about blue paint in my kitchen!
Who knew I could go on like this over blue?!
Stay tuned for pics of our finished kitchen cabinets. What a labor of love this project has been! I think we are on week 4 of this?! We still need to put the shelves back in, attach draw pulls, and attach door hardware.
