Kitchen Part I

Last weekend I started a project that will be taking many more weekends to complete: I started painting the kitchen!  Most rooms in our house needed to be repainted when we moved in and we are s-l-o-w-l-y making progress (Ellen has a little bit to do with the painting speed.)  I have been wanting to paint over the red in the kitchen from Day 1, so I was excited to get started.

Here's the kitchen right after we moved in...

 And here is it just after I primed over the red the other day.  It already feels so much bigger and brighter.  

The new khaki paint should warm it up a bit and will look nice and crisp against the white cabinets.  I'm just hoping to have it finished sometime this year...stay tuned. 

(PS - Ellen is actually sitting in the high chair in the bottom two pictures...she's a wee little thing!)
