Kitchen Face lift

Although the above kitchen photo really appeals to me, my bf would NEVER go for that! Can you imagine how much his friends would make fun of him?! So when we decided to paint our kitchen, I knew are couldn't propose this feminine of a makeover. Luckily, he agreed to a really pretty light blue and white. I love it and probably would get sick of the pink anyway!

Wow, I didn't realize HOW long it takes to paint a room. We had to paint the ceiling and cabinets too. Well, we finally got around to painting it after buying the primer and paint back in February!!! It took us a full day and a half. But so worth it because it looks FABULOUS!

Many many months ago I blogged about my ideal kitchen here.

My original inspiration was my tea pot. Although we decided to go a little less turquoise and more basic light blue (which works out since the spare room has the turquoise color scheme going on).

AND of course amazing gorgeous kitchen photos like these:

I love light colors with white. It's so airy and pretty.

So Project Painting began:

Before- well not really before, gosh that would be hideous! This is after we stripped and sanded it.

During: Tough Work- I would never make it as a professional painter!

Painting in my VS sweats! They are the most comfy sweats ever!

After- Ta da!

And my sister bought my bf this AMAZING art print for Christmas from Ork Posters. It's a map of Los Angeles. So cool. They have lots of different cities too.

Doesn't the orange play well off the blue? See how she has such great taste!

My boyfriend (fiance sounds so korny) grew up in LA so this map print is so fitting for my LA honey. Plus, I love LA too :)
