More Kitchen Progress- drywall & paint

Patching the old vent hole

After picking out dozens of paint chips- I tried out some samples.  This one is "Artichoke Hearts" by Benjamin Moore.  It's greenish goldish.

Testing paint color for inside of cabinet

I decided to go bold, but neutral.  Walls = Green Tea, Benjamin Moore

Inside Back of Cabinet = Revere Pewter, Benjamin Moore

I still need to paint the rest of the cabinet.

White Ceiling (I hate painting ceilings).  I've never been so glad to have a small kitchen.

I went with brown paint because it matched the curtains & window seat cushion in the blue dining room.  Plus we have so many colors in the house, I had to find something that wouldn't clash with the adjacent rooms.

The room beyond the kitchen is painted "Evening Glow" by Behr.  It really does glow, especially when the morning sun comes in the windows.

Break time in the garden.

Last night, when heating up dinner, the microwave died.  It was at least 10 years old.  When we were planning the remodel we debated whether to replace it.  Sometimes decisions are made for you.

Today I need to apply one more coat of wall paint, put a coat of paint on the cabinets, and get the room cleaned up for cabinet install tomorrow.  Time to go get some coffee!
