We decided to use the same color as we did in the living room -- "Ice Rink Blue'' -- which looks great. But when we painted one of the kitchen walls yesterday, it came out an entirely different color -- this weird neon version of itself. Only when the sun went down did it return to its true blue.
I guess three big windows and a skylight are enough to transform a sweet color to the zombie realm.
What to do?
Mr. Hubby, sexy painter boy toy, and I put our heads together -- partly to blind ourselves from the neon sign that was our kitchen wall -- but also to come up with a solution, which we did: stripes. We thought that adding the darker color that we used in the dining room might bring down the intensity a few decibels.
And it did. Plus, it added some interest to the plain wall, which was an added bonus.
So we thought we had learned from our mistake and painted the other kitchen wall the darker color. But I'll be danged if the skylight didn't turn THAT wall into an even crazier color.
So we're going to paint it white -- pretty boring, especially with the white cabinets, but we'd rather have blah than AHHHHH!
Today I need to make my to-do list for the weekend, which will include finding a new spray paint for the shower pan I started last weekend ...
Here are the stripes. Where are the stars??
