Thanks! :)
Now I can't wait to go on with my kitchen. I think I will buy some more paint this week so I can start at the weekend. Friday it a holiday here, so there's plenty of time. :)

Okay, I spent the last three days painting my kitchen. I've never been very happy with my kitchen, all these strange angles, and the ugly hot water tank... Anyway, I tried to give the room a fresh, modern look with the colors I have chosen.
This is what it's looking like now:

Your kitchen is so CUTE!! I love the stencil art you did, that POPs it out at you and draws your eyes towards that area. It really does look NICE! You should be proud of the job you did! You are talented with more than that camera!
-
Wow!! Looks great! I like the lime greenish color. And it comes out in your cushions too. I like it paired with the charcoal color. =)
-
Love the green! and I love the pics of Lily exploring the kitchen. My kitties have never gotten on top of the doors like that, I'm surprised Owen doesn't do that. :)

Well, okay... I spent Ascension Day painting the kitty room! I choose a very unusual color this time, dark berry, and for some reason, painting was very annoying this time as the color didn't have a good adherence to the wall. Had to paint three times, and it took me all day.
Luna and Lily seem to like the result. Especially in the late afternoon, when the sun is shining into the room, it's looking very nice and cosy. The room is called "kitty room" because they're having their food bowls there, and their scratching post. They also have a bed on the top of the cabinet, where they love to sleep, and Luna loves her place on the old wooden chest when the sun is shining onto it. Since I have no other use for that room, it's called "the kitty room". :) But of course they are also using the other rooms here as well.
This is what the new room looking like:

The funny thing is... First I thought I would have to get rid of the orange cushions, and curtain, but now that I see it in combination with the new wall color, I think it's actually looking good together. ;)

Wow this is great- you have exquisite taste. And I think this colour matches the kitties so much better now as they are getting a little bit older :)
-
It looks great Kirsten... although I would never choose such a dark color for a whole room. ;) The color suits Luna and Lily very well! :D
A tip - if it's hard to cover the paint under the one you're using, paint with a beige the first time.
-
Beautiful! Well done, Kirsten!

Looks great! I too like the orange/purple combo. The decals you put up look neat. I've had a harder time with some paints too... I painted my room at my mom's house a darker red (with an orange 6 inch strip around the room, about head height) and I had to do 3 coats to get it an even color. And I was painting over a pinkish mauve... so I thought it'd be easier to get even. Sure is annoying to have to paint the same walls so many times. =) Looks really good though!!
-
You tastes never ceases to amaze me or maybe it is your bravery to try different colors that just come out looking so much better than I would expect! WHO would have thought orange and purple would look so great together? It is STUNNING!

LOVE the decor...but sadly was often distracted by the kitty pictures and real furgirls! ;) Are the kitten pics their baby pictures?
I love that colour, and how the orange works so well with it.:)
