Kitchen make-over

Well I decided to finally redo the kitchen... well remove old green wallpaper and paint anyway.
Soon the beige;buff; mocha light...colour will be gone for a sort of pumpkin-ish...colour. We're not sure if we like it yet... hey , it's only paint.
Before:

During: wallpaper tear off.. TSP wall cleaning...and rinsing.

First side of room, first coat.... lots of nooks and crannies!!! I'd forgotten that... :( and the flash camera..makes the colour look very yellow...


Ok, so this view shows how the various lights change the same colour... interesting... the ceiling will be a warmer hue...eventually ,as I hate doing ceilings!! Still haven't done my bedroom ceiling yet!

This colour certainly makes the wood look richer.

That's it for now.. I'm in the garden pulling old plants...de-weeding, top-soiling and mulching.. Great day outside today... and I'm thankful for our shade trees today...

Great colour...it looks more like squash soup but that is probably the lighting. I love the colour pumpkin and I'm working on a hemp top called "pumpkin" right now.

That's a lot of work you have done...such a big kitchen and high ceilings as well.

Fresh and new - lovely.
