PAINT!!!
Yes, Brett gets nervous when I say, "Do you know what I think we should do today?". He has reason to get nervous. It never ends up well for him. Whatever it is in my brain always involves more work and more mess and more money than he wants to deal with. He'll get used to it.
January brought bone deep cold, monochromatic colors outside and lack of desire to do anything. It seemed the perfect time to shake it up and go buy paint. I have avoided painting the kitchen for the 8 years we have lived here as I wasn't sure I wanted to commit to a color. I still really want to brick the walls but until then, paint would have to do.
here is the boring kitchen before....Color....now that is a hard one. I have shades of yellows, greens, purples, and browns around the main floor. The kitchen just seemed to beg for something with substance, depth, intensity and vitality. We started investigating spicy colors: paprika, chili powder, pomegranate, and found a color that seemed to satisfy all the requirements. I love it!
The color has warmth but doesn't shrink the kitchen or dining room. It plays in the different lighting around here and pulls the greys and lavender flecks from the counter tops. It really warmed up the cabinets and the white accents and appliances are so bright and clean.
hmmmmm...home at last.
Brett asked why I didn't do this sooner. Ugh.
