Day Sixty-Eight

Progress has slowed quite a bit, obviously. We don't have much time to do a lot these days. It was really good that we moved in over Christmas break (and that we work at a job where we get Christmas break) because I'm sure if we hadn't, the house would still be gross. We had never gotten around to painting the kitchen when we painted the rest of the house. I'm not sure why, but we didn't. We're having a housewarming party tomorrow, and the walls were pretty gross, so we decided we needed to do something with it. Unfortunately, I forgot to take before pictures. The only one I have is from right after we moved in, before we had gotten our new fridge or done anything to the kitchen. We (obviously) were not using it at this point.



I really wanted to go yellow, but it wouldn't work with the cabinets. The cabinets are so gross, and I hope to paint them at some point. But that's going to be a huge project. Next month is spring break so...maybe. We were debating whether we should go blue or green. We didn't really want to go blue because the bathroom is blue. But both times that I've tried to paint a room light green in the past, it has come out much brighter than expected, and I did not want a lime green kitchen.





We ended up with this. Wasabi. I know you can barely see it in the pictures, and that is exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, in artificial light, it's a little darker than I wanted. Actually, I don't like the way it looks at all in artificial light. But in natural light, it is absolutely perfect.
