Still painting...

Sorry for lack of updates, but I MUST finish this kitchen. This kitchen will be the death of me I'm pretty sure. When we bought the house, it was pink with grey undertones. Very dentist office-y. There was also a wall-paper border at the ceiling. Wasn't working for me, but I wasn't sure what exactly I was going to do as I needed to replace countertops and floors, and possibly new cabinets, as well. So for a quick fix, I painted it a medium coffee color. Lovely, color but I quickly realized that there wasn't enough contrast between the medium oak cabinets and the coffee walls... So next paint job was a gorgeous shade of red. Word to the wise, do NOT buy Behr brand of red paint. When I was on coat 5 of 6, I read that they have the worst red coverage. It's true. So at this point I have two coats of coffee, and six coats of red. I'm sick of painting this kitchen! Well, we finally figured out what we are doing. Reusing the cabinets, but new countertops, and dark Jacobean bamboo floors throughout then entire house. Well, the Jacobean can not be used next to the medium oak cabinets, which means, you guessed it... I'm painting not only the walls, but all of the cabinets as well. So in the past 20 months that I have lived in this house, I have personally put ELEVEN coats of paint on the walls! I'm still working on the trim and the cabinets.... Calgon take me away!

I promise to post before and after pics when after actually comes. The countertops are being reordered as they arrived damaged and the flooring is currently occupying all space in my garage!
