What a glorious time this is. The weather couldn’t be better, and the kitchen has been painted!

(And Pace promises to get crown molding up there on top by the end of October.)
WOW! We’ve been in this house for 3 years now, and the kitchen is finally not white anymore! It looks so cozy now. My favorite thing to see whenever we’re done painting is the beautiful white trim that stands out so nicely. This color (Toasted Pecan) was a somewhat spontaneous choice, but I am pleased with the results.
I wanted a light brownish color, but it had to be darker than our “amazing” (<sarcasm) cabinets. So I tried to find a shade that would match the dark grain in the cabinet wood.
Chase got to be the first one to smear some paint on the wall, and it really looked like poop or mud. 🙂 I was a tiny bit nervous about the color at that point.
We were going to have people help yesterday, but McGrandaddy came over on Friday night and helped out A TON—I am so glad he helped! Then Pace touched up a bit yesterday morning, so by the time Jessica and the McGowans came over to help, it was already done! I love the dark effect, even though sometimes it seems almost too dark for my taste, but overall it’s pretty “elegant” (the adjective I kept using as we were painting).
We celebrated yesterday with a brunch– homemade Belgian Waffles & homemade whipped cream. (And then we all felt gross & groggy after eating that.) Thanks guys, for the help (and the willingness to help). I love it!
