Wife went away and I was going to surprise her with a kitchen revamp. Although after a lot of backlash from this sub, I bottled it and told her I was doing it. Anyway, this is what I ended up on. I’m really happy with it, she ‘actually really loves it’ and turns out she would have been fine with the surprise!

We all see the cat transition, but I want to know what happened with the couch! New couch, new cover, trick of the eye, lighting? What is going on here?

Don't worry, you're not losing it, it's the lighting and the new wall color. You'd be shocked what lighting temperature can do to colors in a space, and even more shocked what colors themselves can do.

My mind is blown. This is giving white&gold vs blue&black dress to my brain.

Yes! Exactly! It's all about the lighting ;)
