We Painted Our Kitchen (again)

Here are a couple of pictures of me painting our kitchen this weekend:








And here's how it turned out:










It dried a lot bluer than it looked like it would when I was painting, didn't it? That's because I PAINTED TWICE! After I'd finished painting the soothing green color you see in the first two pictures, after the painting tape had been removed, and after Amber had finished touching up the edges, Amber decided she didn't like the color. So Tegan and I went to The Home Depot to buy the "right" color on Saturday evening, and then, on Sunday, we went through the whole exercise again.

As it turns out, the "right" color is the bubblegum blue that you see in pictures 3-5 above. It matches some plates that Amber bought (that, incidentally, can't be microwaved, because they reach 1,000 degrees, making them impossible to remove from the appliance without an oven mitt).

I'm not sure what color we'll paint it tomorrow. I'll let you know when we decide.

Amber would like you to leave comments here letting us know which color you like better: the relaxing, peaceful green color you see in pictures one and two, or the eye popping, headache inducing neon blue seen in pictures 3-5.

By the way...I'm not pouting in pictures 4 and 5. One of Tegan's friends gave her a fishing game for her birthday, and it's taking most of my brain power to concentrate on getting them on my fishing rod. The box indicates that the game is for ages 4 and up, but I'm proud to report that our 3 year old can get as many fish on her hook as her dad can on his. We're planning to enroll her in a gifted and talented program soon.
