Painting Extravaganza

OK, so I've always wanted a red kitchen. I grew up with one and it was awesome. So cute and I just loved it. So of coarse when we decided to paint our kitchen I wanted to go with red. I love our kitchen because it's huge and has all this awesome cabinets. I thought the red would really make the cabinets pop and look great. Well it sure made them "pop" actually a little too much! haha

Here's the before

So when you paint red, you need to do a gray primer first so you don't have to paint 4 coats. So we started painting and we both really liked the gray. It really looked good with the white and was starting to grow on me!

Here's a little cuteness

But I really wanted that red, so we went ahead with it.

And I hated it!! Actually as we were painting I started to realize it. I really didnt want to tell Ryan because it had taken days to do all this and with the details and everything. But I did tell him and we decided we might as well finish and see how it looks in the morning all dried. So we did and it just didn't work. I don't know if it was just too much with all the white, or the kitchen being more inclosed but it didn;t work. So we decided to go BACK to the gray! haha

So after 5 days of painting we finished and went with the gray and LOVE IT!! I really never thought I was a "gray" person but it really works and I (and Ryan) really are happy with it! We plan on doing wainscoting below the chair rail but maybe we'll tackle that project in the new year!
