Not sure why it hasn't bothered me enough to finish painting the kitchen. Since Thanksgiving weekend the kitchen has only been partially painted. I stopped somewhere about the kitchen sink and have ignored it for too long. I thought I'd get after it right after school got out, but no matter how many times I thought I'd do it, I just didn't feel like it. So, after psyching myself up for a couple of weeks, I finally decided that it was time. I had a brief stall--a few hours clearing up ideas stuck in my head that I just had to research, but then I dove into the project.
Fresh paint looks great! The walls look fresh and new. There is great satisfaction when a room has been freshly painted.
The kitchen is the last major room to be done. In the last year or so I've repainted, fixed, and uncluttered every room in the house. In the other rooms I painted the ceiling and walls first, then I'd do the windows and trim. This time I did it differently. I painted the windows first. Not sure why, but they seemed to be the part that I left for last before (in fact, I should check them all and make sure that I went back and did them.) It was great to have the windows completed when I rolled the wall color on...then it was done! Fortunately the kitchen ceiling was painted last time and didn't need a redo. Ceiling paint makes such a mess!
Everything is very neutral now. The next challenge is decorating. I'm not very good at that and tend to just leave things rather blank.
