Jul. 2, 2007 - Kitchen Project
I'm finally doing it! I'm finally re-painting my kitchen! We have lived in this home for 7 and 1/2 years and I have wanted to paint the kitchen for about 5. When my DH bought me this beauty in March, I knew it was time to jump in and get this project done! (He had to cut away some of the cupboard above the fridge to make room since it was replacing a much older and much smaller model.)
I still have quite a way to go before the kitchen is finished. I'm soooo thankful for the help my sister (you'd say sister-in-law but I call her sister) has given me! It's more fun working with someone, too!
Yesterday, we couldn't resist cracking open the new paint color ("Sand Dune") and trying it out. For a couple years I had wanted to paint the kitchen RED but since my adjoining dining room is GREEN I changed my mine. (Too Christmassy) So, I decided on a yellow/gold color. This picture shows you one wall....
it's a bit brighter than I anticipated (isn't paint funny that way??) but I plan to do a faux treatment over it with another gold shade called "Sweet Corn" so I think it will tone down a bit.
In addition to painting the walls and backsplash, I am re-painting all the cupboards too. -- not yellow, white! I will post a picture of those when I am further along... hopefully later this week. Are you all tackling any summer projects?
