Jaunty Green Kitchen

Awesome, you came back!! Thanks for visiting!

Yep, you heard right. My plain jane kitchen has had a facelift. :D

Kitchen Before by RunawayOctober

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!
