Well, this is the colors I'm going for in my kitchen...Modern isn't it? Light aqua/blue on the walls....with chocolate brown on my backsplash.
The aqua/blue is done already...Now I'm priming my light/wood colored kitchen cupboards and trim...After the 1 coat of primer...I'm planning on doing a glossy bright white on them...I just loved how the white popped with this vibrant color. Its quite a long process since I have quite a few cupboards. I'm taking my sweet time with this room since the primer is oil based...(strong SMELL) about makes ya sick if you don't have a lot of ventilation. The oil based primer is the best to use since it seals the cupboards/trim from peeling away later on when the final coat is applied. Stay close, I'll unveil the final before and after pics soon, well...hopefully. I think I'm planning on adding a lot of red accents to the completed room when finished.
Oh yea, and the vacuum above...oops almost forgot....This little life saver has came to the rescue at our house. I recently purchased this suction less vacuum...(a large roller under it kicks back everything...and I mean EVERYTHING, including nails, beads, pins, cereal) which I absolutely have fallen head over heels for. Any mom/dad/child/ grumbling teenager...human being..would love one of these. I have retired my broom and dust pan, (which I used to use four to five times a day on my kitchen a dining room floors). This vacuum is a Shark, its cordless...rechargeable battery (within 30 min, and usually lasts that long, as well)...it goes in vehicles, under couches...and has a swiveling handle...Can I say anything more about this God-send of a household item :) The best thing about it...only $29.96...at WalMart...I know, I know, some of you don't step foot into WalMart, I'm sure they'd have 'em at Target/maybe Kmart.. as well. :) They are completely worth every cent of that amount.. for sure ! Man I should be on their advertisement team for a commercial...whatcha think?
