I painted the kitchen walls...

When we got our house painted before we moved in, we picked exactly the same color that we had in our previous house. It is a shade of taupe (See the ceilings...). It is a color that both I and my husband like and it works great with our trims.

But lately, I have been craving some change. Finally on a week that my husband was out of town, I got the courage to paint my kitchen walls. First I tried few color samples with no luck. Finally, I started to look for household items that had the colors that I had in mind. At the end, I took a jar of paprika to the paint store and asked them to find me the color of the spice. And they did...

It worked out great with the existing walls and gave our kitchen warmth and energy...

It took me 2 nights to finish it up. The first night was the painting and the second one was the touch up. I also rotated the kitchen table to have a better angle with the backyard and put away the carpet that was usually placed under the kitchen table.

At the end, my husband was pleasantly surprised with the results...
