Project -- KITCHEN

So for quite some time now since we've moved into our house (over a year now) I've been wanting to get all the rooms painted. To date the children's rooms and their bathroom are complete and I'll post pictures of those after I finish painting everything else, watch for a tour of the house! I've been pondering, flip-flopping and changing my mind about colors for the kitchen/breakfast nook and the entry/family room/hall for about 3 months now. I couldn't decide, then I'd pick a color and change my mind again. That's really easy to do if anyone of you have painted before--> You think you have the perfect color, then you look at the color selection at HD or Lowes, and all of a sudden the color isn't right. I did finally find my colors, and today was the day-bought paint and supplies and BOOM the kitchen is almost done. Here is what it looked like before:This picture is actually before we moved in, but the paint was the same up until today, flat and blah. If you look at the post below with Madison in pigtails, there is also a closer shot of the boring walls. Here is phase one of painting......the top half of the eating area and rest of the kitchen:Here I am working on the trim, we opted not to spend a million hours taping everything, so I had the job of cutting in around the baseboards and windows. Such fun! On to phase two:
I love the contrast of the bottom color, it's called clam chowder. I love the cool names of paint! [Please excuse the table and chairs, Lester would be horrified to know that they are on the blog, he can't stand our table and costco chairs. I personally don't mind, the kids can't harm them, since they're indestructible! Functional, and yes a little plain, but it will work until the kids are a little older.....anywhoo back to the project!] Phase three comes tomorrow, we're putting up a chair rail. Can't wait for it to be done. Stand by for the finished product...coming soon!
