So we are painting the kitchen this weekend so that at least the base color is down when they finish up the construction in there. We had to decide on a color for the kitchen. The living room is a color called Soft Wine.

I really like the color. We needed to find something that would contrast it but not be jarring. We finally decided to go with a green color and chose Sea Scent.

We also chose a color called Carolina Strand.

We decided to use the Soft Wine and Carolina Strand colors as an accent. We are going to paint the kitchen Sea Scent and then around the top of the kitchen above the cabnets stamp butterflies in both Carolina Strand and Soft Wine. We figure that should help pull the color of the living and dining room through the kitchen.

We thought about using stencils but they are a pain to use and don’t look quite right so we found a cute butterfly stamp that was put out by Disney and are going to be using that. I think it should look really cute.

Dan did the first layer of paint this afternoon/evening and it looks really good. There are some spots and it definately needs a second layer of paint, but overall it is a very nice color for the kitchen and should keep it looking open and light.
