Job's A Good'un
Jun. 29th, 2011 10:24 amThe first time I painted the kitchen I painted it Oxford blue- a lovely colour, but sombre. I had a thing about dark colours back then. The second time I painted it yellow and orange- which was cheerful and jazzy. This third time I've painted it magnolia- which is the dullest colour on the chart- but I needed a neutral background for the black and red units.
I applied the final coat last night.

We have debated putting saturated colors on the ceiling and perhaps one wall in this house. With ten-foot ceilings this place feels like it was built for giants and dark colors might 'shrink' a room down to something more cozy.
