On my mind… Chalkboards

It’s been a long rough day. Brows­ing through Flickr is about as much as I can han­dle before bed.

Jaunty Green Kitchen

Yep, you heard right. My plain jane kitchen has had a facelift. icon biggrin Jaunty Green Kitchen

Here she is before, look­ing pretty… neutral.

And after! A cou­ple wash­ings with TSP, a cou­ple coats of Valspar Jaunty Green, and doesn’t she look so pretty? To the left of the fridge is where the chalk­board wall will be. I’m excited to get that done. But first I need to fill in the knock­down wall tex­ture and slap on some thick coats of primer before even THINKING about start­ing that endeavor.

Rowan’s being coy.

I didn’t paint the wall with the win­dow and sink in it because it’s one con­tin­u­ous wall the goes into the boys class­room. I don’t think I could han­dle THAT much bright green.

Oh hey! Why yes, yes I am wear­ing only under­wear, a hoodie and Ketchup.

If you look closely at  the first after pic­ture there is a very small space above the upper cab­i­nets that’s use­less still unpainted. I think I’ve decided it needs to be painted too, even though the only thing small enough to fit up there are the cats.

So there ya have it. My other color thoughts for this room were an aqua (but that seems to be my first thought for every room) or a smoky pur­ple. What would you have done?

Please don’t for­get to vote for me daily, if you would be so kind. Thank you!
