Usually I decorate the day after Thanksgiving… This year we started painting the kitchen walls. The kitchen was a mess after Thanksgiving, so I thought it sounded like a good idea.

The kitchen was in need of some serious work. We had wallpaper to remove, repairs to make, lots of caulking to do, and then we needed to prime the walls too. It has been an ongoing project.

I painted the new pantry, and started taping off all of the woodwork. James worked on the ceiling, and repairs. Then we got started on the fun stuff.

We got the aqua paint up on the walls. I am seriously in love with this color. It is Mariner from Sherwin Williams, and it has quickly become my favorite color. The kitchen still has a bit of work to be done, but we are off to a great start.
