I have wanted to paint the kitchen for a while, because all of my accents are red, black, and white, and the color has been this blueish greenish light teal.  The color was great (thanks to the Fisher family), but it just did not go with our stuff like I wanted it too.  I was going to paint it yellow, but then Amie told me that was the color it was before.  So, I decided to go for my true desire (which is usually bold) and paint the kitchen red.  I know educationally-speaking, that this probably not the best color for a school environment (since we homeschool in the kitchen/dining area), because it is stimulating.  But thus far, the stimulation has been a good thing...and I promise to blog on how school is going very soon (notice the cute little desks we painted blue in the last pic).

The one negative thing about painting the kitchen red, is that it has taken three coats and actually still needs a fourth!  I do love the color, though!  I'm really happy with it.  Not everyone else feels the same way I do. Here are some of the varied responses I have received so far:

-"That is REALLY red."

-"It looks like a party in here!"

-"Is that the color you were going for?"

-"Wow! That is awesome!"

-"Was it this color before?"

-"Oh, you painted your kitchen." 

Regardless, the kids and I are enjoying our bright place of learning and eating and playing and mental and physical stimulation.

Love,

Melissa
