The kitchen was a hard room to start with - lots of moving appliances, lots of outlets, nooks and crannies, windows, blinds, return air vent, etc. So that just means that it gets easier from here, right? It took 2 coats of the bold red color ("Caliente") and I LOVE it!
Here are the "BEFORE" pics from this past year:
And here are the "AFTER" pics! I still need to go and get window treatments/curtains, but that will happen sometime later this year when I do them for the whole house after all rooms are painted...
Maggie was pretty well-behaved around all of the paint (especially considering she is baby-gated into the kitchen whenever I'm not home - she was probably high from the smell!). She only had a little bit on her right ear by the time I was done - pretty impressive! She got a bath last night and we removed the remnants of the red paint. :)

All things red...
LOVE IT! It looks great. Thanks for the before and after pictures. SO fun.
It looks WONDERFUL, so warm and inviting! You did a great job, I am feeling inspired to do some vibrant painting at my house!Everything is so muted, browns/greens/yellows, so maybe a new color is just what we need! :) Allison
It looks so good I only wish I could have seen it while we were there! Very good work! On to the next room.

It looks great Lauri! I love the bold red color that you used. I like that you made it the color that you wanted. We just got a new washer and dryer and painted our laundry room Jade Green - another bold color. I know no one sees the laundry room but I wanted something different than the muted beige/yellow that was in there. Good luck on the next room!
