The Kitchen Nightmare...


So how many times can you visit the Home Depot paint department in one day?.....try four. That's right, we went four different times just for the kitchen color(s). The first color Yellow we tried was a little TOO yellow! But of course we didn't decide that until I spent 45 minutes cutting in. We (meaning the wonderful and patient people at Home Depot) tried adding more color to make it a deep orange/brown color, but it turned out looking like a really awful tanish-whatever-it-was color. Third time is a charm right??? Nope. We tried matching this really cool dark orange color on a plate we had. It looked great being held up to the walls! You can see the spot to the left of the picture...looks like a Halloween Pumpkin! No bueno! The last (and FINAL) time we went we decied on a lighter yellow overall, with a backsplash of a deep red. It turned out beautiful!
