Well, our kitchen is semi-painted now! I'd primered it, and now I've painted the top portion yellow. It's a nice yellow (not too bright, not mustard-y, etc), but it's still yellow, so I've had to really think about it once I got it up on the walls! I'm leaning towards really liking it, but I still need to make sure I see it in all lighting situations (and one of our lights in our kitchen is currently not working correctly... something is wrong with the wiring we think). Then I think we're going to paint the bottom portion white, and the strip above the cabinets white also. And then our trim/chair rail is painted white so we have to put that back up after all the painting is done. Here are some before and afters!
Here's another glimpse of the wallpaper situation... But you can see the white trim/chair rail going around the kitchen! That part is staying.
Here it is! There's kinda some weird shadows going on in this picture from the sun.... but this is the kitchen during the day with no lights on!
This is when we were trying to decide if we should paint the area above the cabinets yellow or white... and I think we've decided on white. It's still just primered right now. And there are those dang gold hinges that we still need to replace or paint! But then the kitchen is DONE!!!
And here's a picture when I did have the lights on! See, definitely very yellow! But not a bright yellow... I'm hoping we continue to like it more and more once we put everything back on the walls, etc. But, if it turns out we hate it after some time passes, we can always paint again! :)
That's about all that's happened over this past week/weekend! Work has been keeping me incredibly swamped because I had a massive project due today, so I was quite happy to finish that and get that off my mind. And now we're just prepping for our fun weekend in Vegas! I'll let you guys know all about it next week!!
