When we first moved into our house the kitchen was a dirty dingy white. Now Jared knows that I have a hard time making decisions sometimes as you will soon find out. I really had a difficult time figuring out what color I really wanted the kitchen to be.
We painted the main part of the house a warm yellow, so I thought okay lets carry that into the kitchen to help it flow better. I really thought it would be great. Well that lasted for about a month. My brother Greg came to visit on his way up to Utah, him and is five boys. Crazy man. He, who is blunt and just says things, said, " This is to much yellow for me!" So after he left I got to thinking he was right so I painted again.It was green and then I painted the wall to the left of the kitchen green too. I was happy with it for about two weeks. Then I told Jared I don't know why I am trying to go for a look that is really not me in any way. I know what color I like kitchens. I'm going to the store.


I am so much happier with the red. Its name is Ginseng Red. I really love it, its a mix between a brick orange and a deep red. I really love deep red and Jared really likes orange hues, so it was a good mix. I also painted the cabinets for the third time, to this chocolate brown. We took down the cabinet hanging over the stove and counter to open things up. I was getting a pain in my neck from looking under the cabinet while cooking and talking to company/kids. We will be tiling the counters eventually. We have quite a list of things are wanting to acquire/get done. We changed out the light fixture and love the new one. I am so glad that I ended up with this color. I would of loved to figured it out sooner, but no going back now. We are going to be putting crown molding on the cupboards, but that is also all the huge list. I really love my kitchen. I am especially loving it now as it is cooling off, you know getting to only 75-80 during the days now. Fall is here.
