Kitchen

This is the ugly color my kitchen was before I painted it. I thought I had taken a picture of the cabinets before I painted them. But they were a dingy yellowish white. The walls were a dark cream.




And now my cabinets are a glossy white, with the walls a butter yellow. I was aiming for a little lighter yellow. But I love them. It looks so country in there now. The knobs had been brass colored and my wonderful husband spray painted them silver for me. And WOW!! the change a little spray paint did to them.


Now if I can just get him to finish hanging the doors back up and take the tacky nasty fan down. Who puts a fan in a kitchen? It does nothing but gets greasy then dusty. GROSS!!!

Next I think seriously of continuing the color yellow into the dining room since the two connects. Probably lighter but it has really brightened up this small kitchen.

  3. Well let me say I'm usually not impressed with many paint colors as I've seen so many (remember I helped Billy paint so many new houses?!) Thena this is BEAUTIFUL!!! Yellow is one of my favorite colors anyways- but for a kitchen it's even better b/c it's just so cheerful and uplifting! You did a great job and I'm impressed with your painting skills- I imagine your Mom taught you didn't she? Billy said she was a great painter. I will have to show you some things he showed me... if I ever paint that room of mine! Love ya-

  4. Oh I meant to say the color of the yellow is what I liked... it's buttery like you said... I did Dylans nursey in pale daffodil a couple of years ago and I've never regretted it... everyone that goes in there says how happy and bright it is.
