Kitchen Make Over

When we first mentioned to Rick that we would be looking to move to a big, better house at some point in the future, he immediately said that we'd have to paint the kitchen a different (more normal) color. So, it was no shock at all when we met with him last weekend that the thing at the top of his list of things to fix was the color of the kitchen!

For those of you that don't know, I painted the kitchen green in May or June of 2007. It had never been anything other than white and was dull and boring. Elizabeth bought the paint and disappeared somewhere for the weekend for Camp. While she was gone, I painted the kitchen and surprised her (she thought we were going to do it another weekend). I have included some pictures of the green kitchen below.




I had been out of town Monday - Thursday, so I started the job of painting the kitchen the same color as the rest of the downstairs on Friday morning. As you can see from the photos, there are lots of small areas the paint so it takes a long time (and two coats to cover the green). I had the job of handling the edges and "cutting in" and Elizabeth did the rolling. We finished the first coat by 1:30 and then did the second coat in the late evening so we could get it all done in one day. It was a long hard day, but between us we got it done.

The photos below show the kitchen as it is today! Hopefully perspective buyers will like the new color...
