I painted my kitchen today

I live in an 160 farm house that I absolutely love but it needs a ton of work!!! I was told that there is no point in doing anything major in my kitchen because it needs to be torn off and rebuilt from scratch! I could not even list all the things that are wrong with it!! Well that I am told in not going to happen for at least another ten years (it should last that long, he hopes!) But I was not going to live with the black/grey marble looking lino floor and the dusty rose painted paneling for that long! Oh and how could I forget about the big industrial florecent lighting!!

It all started with the kitchen door having to be replaced. We could never lock it because the old skelton key only worked when it wanted to! So when Larry and his brother replaced the door I had Larry convinced the next time his brother came down that he should replace the wall beside the door with sheet rock since they were going to wreck the wall putting in the new door anyway...so when Jon (his brother) came down Larry told him about replacing that one wall I was standing behind Larry mouthing that all the walls should be replaced!!! Needless to say I got all new walls in my kitchen. That was 6 months ago...they were up and primed just waiting for the molding to go up were the wall meets the ceiling.

I waited and waited....no moldings! I have stared at primed walls for way to long so the girls and I painted it today! I wanted a burnt orange color but I was scared that it would darken the kitchen too much because there is not a lot of light in my house. So I am stuck with a basis biege but I am so excited that it is painted I do not care! I am going to paint the trim some time this week and I will have to see if I can find a before pic and take a pick of the newly painted one so you can see!

Well that was my excitement for the day! :o) I best be going to bed, I am beat!
