I decided that I should paint my kitchen this weekend. I'm hiring painters to do the foyer, upstairs hallway, downstairs hallway and the family room. I wanted to get the kitchen done before I have them come so they can do the corners well. I have rounded corners on all of my walls - and I'm not a fan. The make it really difficult to have a nice clean break from one room to the next - at least they do if you're not a pro. Hence me wanting them to do the corners.
I texted my friend, Val to see if she wanted to come help me. Thank goodness she said yes! She had plans yesterday, so I had a laid back day and didn't even leave the house. I'm glad I rested up because today was super busy. I was up at 5:00 (I didn't even know we had one of those in the morning!), gathered all of my painting supplies, cleared off all of the counter tops, cleaned the kitchen (I did wash the walls yesterday - from all of the dog gunk.) and ran to Walmart to buy a gift for a birthday party - all before 8:00am. After church I swept the kitchen and dog-proofed the family room. After a quick bite to eat, Val and I started around 1:00.
The walls are super thirsty and there was so much detail work and small spaces - not too many big roller areas. I panicked at 4:15 when Val said she had to be home by 6:00 - yikes!!! But don't underestimate us! We kicked it into high gear and finished promptly at 5:30. Kitchen complete! Woo-hoo!!! And I LOVE it!!! I was going for yellow and it's a bit more orange than I had planned, but I love it anyway. It's not as orange as my office is, but not quite yellow. Now I can't wait to get the rest of the house done. I guess I had better start thinking about my bedroom. After the painters do all of the super tall walls, my bedroom is all that's left. Hmmmm.....
ps - Val - thanks again!!! You sparkle!!!!
