Kitchen Paint

With a couple days off work, I decided to try out a color in my kitchen.  I follow a blog called "moon to moon" , and she wrote 

"Be bold. Don't be afraid of color."   

And my kitchen, being that its 25 years old and mostly pressboard type units attached to walls....  well, its never going to look .... what would be the word, fashionable?  elegant?  pretty?  They're plain, and the layout isn't inspiring, merely functional.  Which is ok, I'm not complaining, because it works.  But its boring!

So... I decided to use "flaming red hot" as an accent color....  the cabinets themselves will be an earth tone tan, as is most of the decor in the southwest. 

It's an interesting combination, but painting red isn't easy! It tends to leave streaks, so extra coats required to get an even tone. But that's ok, all good things take time and patience!  

Lift a glass of cheer, for its Friday!
