Kitchen update


I've been working on my kitchen, attempting to upgrade it to something a little more ... fun. bold.  less  boring.  Whoever painted here last used a sprayer, didn't move anything, just sprayed inside and out.  After pulling out shelves, you could see the lines where the shelf had been sitting.  *sigh*  Only people in a hurry paint like that.  

So here's an updated picture of the upper cabinets painted, the trim is "flaming red hot", and the cabinets are a warm "tempting toasted coconut".  




I know the colors are hard to tell from just pictures,  While the depth of shade is nearly the same as it was before, the old color was a beige with blue undertones, and the new color has red undertones, and feels much warmer.







In this picture, you can see the difference in the color splotch I slapped up to see how I would like it.  And with a little careful taping, I'm able to spray paint the center of the already existing knobs to match the red :)
