so here is what the kitchen looks liked before- as you can see she is not a looker:) check out the hideous blinds over the double doors....yeah they gotta go! |
When we bought our house four years ago we decided to paint it this dark green color and needless to say, I totally hated it. Not necessarily the color itself, but it doesn't really match anything in the kitchen. Our countertops are a weird greyish blue color and I hated them with the green color on the walls.
So I decided to go with Olympic's "Secret Passage" Paint Plus Primer in Eggshell, which was supposed to be a light grey color but after painting a small portion of the kitchen and staring at it for weeks (not kidding) we decided that it was a little too light for the room. We have double french doors in the kitchen and it gets the afternoon sun so we decided to go a shade darker with Olympic's "Flagstone" and I couldn't be happier!!!! Seriously I LOVE it! and the lighter shade is not going to waste, but I'll have to tell you about that later :)
In case your wondering why I'm only showing the kithen from this angle it's for a few reasons:
#1 -the desk area on the other side is a terrible mess (something I need to work on) it's a total catch all
#2 -i have a big project ( i use that term loosely) going on in my hallway that I'm not quite read to share
#3- as you can see from the picture below- it's not exactly 100% complete:)
There is still a long list of to-do's in the kitchen like: subway tile backsplash, paint the ceiling from the drywall damage- more on that soon, revamp the pantry, new floors (someday i hope), and a new window treatment for those big double doors, plus a few odds and ends that I'll be sharing soon, but in the mean time I think she is really starting to grow on me:)
So, what do you think???
