]]> Today I sanded, primed, and painted while the guys finished electrical.

It was a Homestead Resort Tea Room Yellow kind of day.  The color was really bright and I hated it at first, but now that the whole room is done it looks pretty good.  The dark floors and medium tone cabinets should mellow the yellow.

We had intended to lay the cork floors last night, but we wimped out around 10:30 and decided to celebrate new year’s eve instead.  We drank and watched videos until the ball dropped.  Happy 2009 everyone!

]]> Today was more about the walls.  Leonard mudded nearly all day.

In the afternoon we went shopping for appliances.  2 stores and we didn’t buy anything until Alex returned to Lowes for the vent fan.  Do you love or hate your fridge/dishwasher/range?  If so, please leave a comment.  We want to buy today for delivery Friday.

After we came home from the fruitless marathon trip, Lil wanted to help.  We let her use a scraper and play with the “sticky stuff” aka drywall mud.  She had a blast!

Today: paint?  I said that yesterday, so I won’t believe it until the paint can is actually open.  I did buy these green supplies yesterday: a biodegradable paint tray and a green harvested wooden handled painted brush.

]]> Today, the walls went up!

First, all the electric and plumbing had to be finalized.  Then we added insulation (itchy stuff I tell ya) between studs. Then drywall was hung.

When we were at Cory and Steve’s for dinner (thanks guys!) Len broke through the dining room wall for our pass through!  I hadn’t exactly told him my lighting plans so now we have to undo some of the work, but the pass through is now here!

Len is mudding right now and I’m about to go help.  By tomorrow night we may have paint on the walls.  Alex and I hastily picked out ‘Homestead Resort Tea Room Yellow’, which hopefully looks as good on the walls tomorrow as it did on the little tiny paper this afternoon.

]]> Demolition starts on the kitchen tomorrow.  The general plan (I hope) is that we tear out and repair walls tomorrow, mud and sand the next day, then paint on the 28th before laying cork floor.

The problem is that I don’t know what color to paint.

The floors are amber hued cork.  Cabinets are light stained oak.  Countertops can be any virutally any color we want because the concrete and inclusions have limitless possibilities.  We were generally thinking terrazzo style light beige with amber or green or purple glass inclusions.  Appliances will be stainless steel.

So, what color walls make sense?  Initially I thought warm yellow orange.  I picked up some paint chips.  Putting them up to the cork, I just don’t like any now.  I’m not opposed to bold – I LOVE color and think that with everything being warmish brown tones the kitchen will not be colorful enough.

Of course, walls can always be repainted.  I’m just hoping to get it right on the first try because before the floor and cabinets go in the paint job will be much easier than cutting in around everything after.

Any suggestions?
