Decorating the kitchen....1st step PAINT!
Moving into our home 2 weeks before Christmas I really have not had time to do any decorating, and I promised Drew I wouldn't do any major projects until after Christmas sooooooo......December 27th we took down the tree and started the painting process. A BIG project as we painted over all the dark green with simply white AND the walls are textured! It took 3 coats in many places. I chose a gloss. With kids it is GREAT all you have to do is wipe the wall when your almost 1 year old throws his sweet potatoes at it in high speed.Here is our kitchen before:
And here is the after
I love my counter tops, but I am not sure what I am going to do to the cabinets, hardware, and back splash. I know I will replace the fan and the bar lighting.Everything is still super dark, but I have learned in my decorating adventures that it is always better to sleep on it for a little bit instead of making a hasty decision. So I am living with the dark for now until I make up my mind :)
