The Highlighter Massacre

Here's Ginny putting on the first application of paint. We both held our breath . . .
Here's the room all bland and white. I scrubbed the floor boards, dusted the tops of the window sills, scrubbed off Kody hair that has attached itself to a jam splatter . . .

The next morning, I woke up to these beautiful colors in the breakfast area. Love it, love it, and LOVE IT! Everyone needs to come to my house and ooh and ahh in front of Keith so that he'll be convinced that it's not a terrible thing to have bright colors in a main living area!

On Wednesday, we painted the breakfast room and the bar. Today we are tackling the kitchen.

Here's what we've done from another angle. Doesn't it look crisp and cheery!

Maria, Ginny used only ONE coat. We'll need to touch up here or there, but she did a very thorough job on the first go-around. I got the expensive stuff, though. $32 a gallon on sale. (Gulp.) We've used just over one gallon.
