Well, we’re finally getting around to painting our kitchen! We’ve been wanting to paint it since we moved in. This is what it looked like before we moved in:
 |
| kitchen (yes, we’ll be doing something about the “eyeball” knobs) |
 |
| breakfast nook (check out those curtains!) |
Of course it looks more like this and this now.
We are going to paint EVERYTHING! We’re painting the walls a bluish gray (Valspar Pelican matched into Olympic no-VOC) and the trim/chair rail/crown molding/cabinets a crisp white (Olympic no-VOC ultra white). It’s going to take a while, since we’re doing it in small time slots, but it’s going to be beautiful when we finish! Here are a few sneak peeks of some of the work we’ve done so far.
 |
| chair rail complete; starting the Pelican gray wall color (don’t worry – we’re painting the trim too) |
 |
| I actually kind of like these weird “banister” things now that they’re white! |
It’s going to be a huge project (did you know it takes at least 4 coats to cover wood paneling when not using primer?), but so worth it for the huge visual impact when we’re finished!
