CNN is having a show on Julia Child tonight. I am hoping to watch it. The other day, I was watching this commercial for the show. And I noticed that her kitchen is the same color that we just painted ours! Here is Julia's and here is ours. What a nice surprise.
Here are a few Julia Child quotes that I like.
“Find
something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.”
“I was
32 when I started cooking; up until then, I just ate.”
“The
only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.”
“In France, cooking is a serious art form and a national sport.”
* Note to The Mad One: Yes, it is AQUA!

Delightful......
Very pretty color...
great blog look!
Gentle hugs...
How neat! I loved her years ago, but it was in black and white so I never knew what color her kitchen was.
A nice bright color for a kitchen.
Some good quotes!
I love aqua.
I wish I knew it was on earlier!
I Love Julia Child! Did you see the movie Julie and Julia? I read her autobiography written by her and her nephew, Alex published in 2007. Aqua! My first married 'home' featured turquoise ovens and built ins! Does that count for aqua?
"The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.”
Love that quote 💙🥣💙
You ruined my comment! I was shouting ITS AQUA the whole time I read and browsed and then you said it FIRST.. I LOVE IT! LOVE IT! the color and the way you have everything arranged. just enough to keep me happy and to leave my OCD alone... the vase on the table is my favorite piece in the room... love you , Sis signing off as The Mad One
I love the one about the only time to eat diet food! And I do love your kitchen colors.
Oh Ginny!!! Your kitchen is so neat & tidy!!!! I love how fresh it looks. You and Julia Child are twins now! :-D Beautiful! ~Andrea xoxo
I love your kitchen... and there is nothing wrong from following a great chef, now, is there? My kitchens are always so dull.
You and Julia have something in common! I love seeing your kitchen, Ginny, it's charming. And the aqua color is light and Springy. I chuckled at the steak quote. A very nice post this morning, Ginny, and your side bars are matching the color of your kitchen too, that's creative.
Have a pleasant week.

ps.....I just noticed the words on your Spring sign.....I love it! : )
What a wonderful posting about Julia Child. The kitchen is beautiful and I like her quotes a lot.
I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. I'm so glad to be able to visit your blog. You have awesome postings!
You and Julia Child! Who would have thought it? That's a pretty color!
Oh my, you're right, Ginny, I was just looking up the time period that the show took place, and it was so long ago. But somehow people still relate to it to this day. Maybe it was the characters or maybe there's something appealing about living in a small and charming house like that. And don't ya love the local mercantile? Those are some of my favorite parts, the store scenes. I have a few blog friends who love the show as much as I do. : )

My kitchen is also in those colors. Creative minds think alike. Looks great.
I like the color a lot. Enjoy the show!
Love Julia's quotes and you are in such good company with your paint color. Your kitchen looks so crisp and clean. Thanks for showing us.

Oh you cannot ever go wrong with aqua (I call it teal) in a kitchen -- or anywhere, in my opinion! Gorgeous happy color. So lovely with your yellow! Julia Child was a national treasure for good reason. xoxo
