I've wanted to paint and we just haven't had the time. Finally I convinced my husband last weekend to take a trip to Lowe's. We picked out some paint samples and we started painting on Monday. I am so used to painting normal rooms and the projects being quick and easy. This was in now way a quick and easy project. We have so much cabinetry in our kitchen and built in entertainment center that the cut work took forever!! Last night at about 2 am. we finally finished most of the work. We still have to get to the center of the alcove in our entry way that we want to paint a shade darker but hopefully we can get to that on Monday.
The yellow is the old paint (obviously) and this is the only before picture I got of this area before I thought to take pictures of the before.
This is the eat in area.
After the paint, before the drapes
(Don't pay attention to the gate, this is to keep in Bailey our 7 month golden retriever) Our fridge doesn't match our overs or our range and eventually we will upgrade to a stainless steel fridge but for now we are going to use the one we had.
After the drapes
(Eventually I will get drapes that extend all the way to the floor but at the time I don't want the white curtains touching the ground because we have a puppy who loves to lay in the area. The last thing I want is to wake up and find the drapes ripped to shreads or them covered in dog hair! )
Balloon drape over the kitchen sink. I LOVE this addition. It totally warms up the area. We used to have a picture over the window before and it j ust wasn't working. In the before picture you can see that it defintely needed something.
I need to take pictures of the family room before but I don't have any good pictures of the after. Stay tuned for new pictures of the family later this weekend.
**Sorry if the pictures are blurry they were taken with my iphone**
