Painting the kitchen walls ...

The walls - ready for paint.

Color used: Laura Ashley - Taupe 3.

This is the same color that is in the dining room. Hopefully I'll be able to finish the walls tomorrow... I'll keep my fingers crossed.

The dining room in Taupe 3 ...

Rainy day reflections:

9:00 AM - started to paint. I am happy to report that I like the brown - I like how it feels. I was going to paint it a deep red but decided to accent with red and stick to a neutral wall color.

Little color tidbit:

The wall in the front room is a shade darker than the one in the dining room. I used Taupe 3 in the dinning room and Taupe 4 in the front room... we'll see if it flows when we get all the trim up and the pellet stove in the corner. One thing about it - a wall color can quickly be changed.

PS:

No plans to go to Home Depot today. Ahhhhhh! :)

Paint! YOU are not the color I wanted ... :)

I opened up my paint and was going to paint the dining room but at first glance, I knew it was NOT what I had in my mind! When I tested it on the wall, it was the color of human flesh. Oh I wanted to vomit. So, I boxed it back up and took it back to Home Depot (last night) for some fixing!

An hour later - Lauren and I walked out with a new gallon of paint! :) The guy at Home Depot was really helpful and tried to retint the color but it just wasn't right. We ended up with a new color - Laura Ashley / Taupe 3.

Off to try it out! :) PLEASE look good, please.
