I`m not so sure I can divide my brain in a right and a left side but I take the challenge issued. The first challenge was to find a scrapbook paper that inspired a story about a place. Not so easy when my collection is down to minimum but I did find the inspiration…

The colors from my childhood`s kitchen. Wish I knew what side of the brain we used when we picked those colors but I do remember pushing my parents into making this decision:)

My parents in 1986…

Pretty sure this was a very cold January evening and my father just turned 60. Celebrating with his favorite food – straight from the sea, fresh cod with all the trimmings. (Heads, liver and eggs.) Just a warm up before the big celebration.

Nearly 20 years later, it was a shocking experience to come into this house and find the same colors…

To tear down this wall paper was a pleasure. A big moment. A moment that deserved a page in my album…

The paper made me think of my childhood kitchen and it inspired me to make this page but there is another story I want to document…

A story about my parents disagreement on the choice of colors for the kitchen – twenty years earlier. It is the only time I remember my father raising his voice and I remember me and my brother going into hiding.

This is a story that has often been retold and I’m a little surprised that I do not remember the details. I have to ask my brother. This confirms the importance of documenting.

One more thing…it makes me rethink how to pick colors for my kitchen:)
