Well, we spent several hours at the house this evening preparing to paint the kitchen. Ry filled in all of the nail holes and we taped up the entire room with blue painter's tape (reminds me of hanging all those posters at NAU). It was tedious work because there are many nooks and crannies, as well as painted trim, cabinets, doors and window frames currently painted a few different colors. Now we are all set and ready to prime.
We spent quite a while checking out paint chips in Home Depot this past Saturday and took a whole pile home. After trying each genre of color we thought might work (variations of sky blue and lime green) we ended up selecting a greyish white called "Steam White". I ripped off the top of the multi-colored paint chip as we got ready to travel to my mom's for a mother's day dinner and Ryan joked that I should take the chip along to show her. I was intending to do just that, but he didn't know. It was silly because the little card just looked like nothing, not even worth bringing over, but I did anyway. Funny how a variation of white can have a tone and complement the other colors perfectly, but still just look like white when you hold it all by itself.
