My newly painted kitchen!

After living in our house for almost exactly 2 years, we finally got around to painting the kitchen! Last year we did the guest room. Many of you probably remember the lovely Blue's Clues themed guest room. That room had to be done first, this year it was the kitchen's turn. I spent hours on the Lowe's website picking out colors. They have a really cool feature on their website. They have about 30 different kitchens, you pick the one that looks the most like yours, and you paint the walls online with the colors they offer. I have always wanted a yellow kitchen, then I decided I wanted one of the walls to be a different color of yellow, and I wanted the trim white. I spent more time working with the blue painter's tape, than I did actually painting. But, it's done and I am very happy with the outcome. Here are some pictures:

This was the first day. Cam and I spent that entire day cleaning and spackling and sanding the walls. Trisha helped of course.

A lovely example of my taping work. I think in this picture I've got the primer on the walls and the trim painted.

Here is the really yellow wall. It is my favorite wall.

This picture is a bit blurry, but this is a wall with the lighter yellow color.

The really yellow wall with my kitchen stuff moved back in.

The rest of the really yellow wall, you can see my new kitchen clock in this one. I love that clock!

An overview of the whole wall. You can probably tell this wall is my favorite. There are the jars of pickles I made yesterday!

A better picture of a wall with the other yellow color on it. For some reason, I just can't get a good picture of the other yellow color. I tried all sorts of features on my camera, and just couldn't get a good shot. But, you get the idea.

So, that's the new kitchen! It was a lot of work, but worth it. It is amazing what a difference a couple of coats of paint can make! I really want to do the living room and entrance way next, but I think it will be awhile before we can do that. Cam needs to be done with the St. George job, so we can knock it out in a few days. Cam was here for the wall prep day and primer day for the kitchen, then he had to go to St. George. So, I had to do the rest, and it took me forever!
