It was finally time to cover up the horrid yellow-green "baby pooh" color that has been on our kitchen walls forever. We never liked it from the day it went up, but we thought maybe we could live with it for awhile. We did that...we lived with it for a LONG WHILE and NOT ONCE did I feel like it was growing on me.
This room faces south and gets tons of sunlight. The following shots demonstrate how horrid it really was!
Warning: Colors in this picture are even worse than they appear.

| Notice the blue-gray colored laminate counter tops? They CLASH with the yellow-green baby pooh color of the walls. If you aren't convinced it's bad yet, here are some more photos submitted as evidence:    So, in the spirit of making the best of it, we decided to freshen the room with some paint. Since we cannot afford a kitchen remodel, or even new countertops....we're going to DO WHAT WE CAN with WHAT WE HAVE (and very minimal expense). NOW FOR SOME BEFORE AND AFTERS!!! 
Say Hi to Sadie!
No more clashing walls and countertops!
Fresh and bright in the dining room.
The fake wood trim in here went white with a little enamel latex.
So much cleaner.
Even the outlet covers are clean and fresh - after a run through the dishwasher!
Amazing what a little color change can do, right!!!
 Seriously...what the heck were the builders thinking???  He said he didn't want to be in the pictures, but he JUST WOULD NOT LEAVE...    |
It's amazing what a color change can do for a room.
I can't wait to show you how it looks once the remainder of the To-Do list is done!!
Still To Do:
- Purge and Rearrange items in the open wall cabinet
- Paint wood trim on the counter edge
- Add some type of backsplash
- Build upper cabinets up to ceiling
- Touch up paint on cabinets
- Add hardware
- Add pendant light over sink
Hope your weekend was fantastic. Thanks to my family and some really great friends, mine was.
