Any Color You Like
I finally got around to painting the kitchen. When I put the new cabinets in, there were spots on the wall that were unpainted - from where the 0ld cabinets were. They provided a nice 1970's style yellow contrast to the "Antique White" that I had painted back in 2001.
I started off with a trip to Lowes, and picked up a quart of "Black Spruce" which was this pretty dark green. I painted about half of the kitchen (but thankfully not above the cabinets) before I realized, hey, this is really fucking dark green. It looked black. So, away with dark green.
I decided to repaint the kitchen the same color it was, since I wanted to get this done, and I loathe painting. Off I go into my laundry/tool room to grab the old paint. Grabbed it, started painting and... oh shit, this isn't tan, it's pink. It was the left over paint from Dana's room.
Went back into the laundry/tool/cat room and found the can of paint marked "TAN" and went to work. Got all of the pink and green covered up nicely. For those who care, the progression of colors in the kitchen of my house has been thus (since the house was built)
- Cyan or Teal
- Yellow
- Some off-white color
- Antique White
- Black Spruce
- Pink Rosewood
- Antique White
I also redid the trim around the door from the kitchen to the living room, and put new 1x4's in the door frame. I love my compound mitre saw.
I am absolutely dreading work this week, but I'm happy that most of my painting seems to be done. I'm going to make another post with my to-do list for the house.
