You know how I said I was in a funk? It must have been going on much longer then I thought...We moved in to this house last April. I had to paint the kitchen because I hated the color. No offense Erin (my sweet sister-in-law who had to pick out paint colors on line...that never works...and is the one who picked out the green you see on the back wall). I don't hate the color really-there was just
WAY too much of it. Aaron and Jake picked out a color that, although I do not hate, just didn't work for me. The blue that was supposed to be more gray on the right wall....
So....back to the funk. I painted half the kitchen the color Aaron and Jake choose last April...You can see where I tested several other colors since and never really found what I was looking for. So I did nothing...which is so not me. I usually go into Lowe's see a paint chip color I like (in about 2 minutes), buy it, paint the room, and live happily ever after. Now fast forward about 10 months later and Aaron came home with a paint chip one of the homeowners he is working with has picked out for their house. He liked it and thought I would too. He was right...
The picture above is the first wall painted with my new favorite color...It looks gray (lighting isn't so hot) but it is really blue/green. The funny part is I was planning on painting the dinning room (which I did and I love that too but the room isn't put back together yet. Pictures of that later...) and my mom called while I was taping and said she would come help. We are a good team. Mom is the edger and I am the roller. We ended up rocking out two rooms in a little over 3 hours. Yep we rock. And yep that is Mom on top of the fridge.
Bye bye ugly green...
Hello my lovely new light bluish-greenish kitchen....
The funk is leaving me...
One more thing...
Here is the before of the dinning room. It doesn't usually look like that-all messy and stuff (okay sometimes it does) but that is when I was moving stuff to paint. The table is obviously the best place for stuff.
The color was okay, but a little too "flesh tone" for me...I love it now and will show you later!
And we are painting the living room this afternoon. :) More on that later too....
